- Kiran Kaur, mother of murderer Vickrum Digwa, has been sentenced to three years in prison for assisting an offender by removing a knife from the scene of Henry Nowak 's murder.
- Kaur was found guilty of taking the Sikh ceremonial knife, used by her son to stab finance student Henry Nowak to death on 3 December 2025 in Southampton, back to their family home.
- Judge William Mousley KC criticised Kaur for concealing the weapon's use instead of challenging her son, noting she placed it with other weapons in his bedroom.
- Vickrum Digwa was previously sentenced in June to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years for Mr Nowak's murder, a sentence which the Solicitor General referred to the Court of Appeal as 'unduly lenient'.
- Digwa, his brother, and father have also pleaded not guilty to multiple weapons offences, including possessing 37 swords and other prohibited items, with their trial set for September 2027.
