Vickrum Singh Digwa, 23, received a life sentence with a 21-year minimum on Monday for the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak.

Digwa stabbed Nowak to death on Dec. 3, 2025, in Southampton, England, according to Judge William Mousley. When British police arrived at the scene, Digwa allegedly complained of racial abuse, leading officers to handcuff and arrest Nowak as he bled to death. Officers uncuffed him a short time later and attempted CPR, to no avail. (RELATED: British Police Reportedly Arrest Stabbing Victim After Alleged Attacker Plays Race Card) 

Digwa remained with Nowak as he died, telling police officers that Nowak “had not been stabbed and that he was exaggerating,” according to Mousley.

In his sentencing remarks, Mousley describes Nowak as a “much-loved, kind, hard-working and ambitious young man, devoted to his family and with a bright future.” 

Mousley includes agonizing testimony from Nowak’s family: Nowak’s death has caused his sister’s world to “fall apart,” she said; Nowak’s father describes his son’s death as a “life sentence” for the family.

The judge then details the extensive lies he believes Digwa told to evade responsibility for the murder.

Nowak was walking back to his university a little after 11 p.m. on Dec. 3. He had drunk a little alcohol — his blood alcohol level was below the legal limit for driving when he died, according to Mousley.
