Knife-obsessed Sikh man Vickrum Digwa jailed for 21 years over Henry Nowak death

A Sikh man has been jailed for at least 21 years for murdering a student with a ceremonial knife, before tricking police into arresting his dying victim.Knife-obsessed Vickrum Digwa, 23, stabbed stranger Henry Nowak, 18, six times with an eight-inch blade he had been carrying in Southampton city centre last December.He did not know his teenage victim, but told a 'wicked lie' about him to the first officers on the scene, claiming Mr Nowak shouted racist abuse, punched him and knocked off his turban.The fatally injured student died 'alone, humiliated and handcuffed' - drowning in his own blood - prosecutor Nicholas Lobbenberg KC told the court today.MPs reacted with fury following Digwa's conviction for murder last week, questioning how the killer was so easily able to dupe officers into arresting his dying victim - a blunder described as a 'shocking example of two-tier policing'.
