The weapon carried by Vickrum Digwa on the night he murdered University of Southampton student Henry Nowak has become a central focus of the case, raising questions about Sikh religious blades, UK knife laws, and the events that led to the 18-year-old's death.
During the trial at Southampton Crown Court, jurors heard detailed evidence about the large bladed weapon Digwa carried openly through Southampton before fatally stabbing Nowak. The case has since sparked debate within Sikh communities, among politicians and across social media.
