Heartbreaking and deeply disturbing details are continuing to emerge during the trial of Vickrum Digwa, the man accused of murdering Polish-British student Henry Nowak.
Jurors have now been shown mobile phone footage of the confrontation that ended with a young man losing his life.
Digwa told the court he was carrying a 21cm kirpan a Sikh ceremonial blade worn around his neck and claimed he feared Henry would use it against him.
“I thought I had to do something because I was afraid that he was going to stab me with my own kirpan,” he said.
But the court also heard that Henry Nowak was trying to escape.
According to the evidence presented, Henry attempted to flee for his life, climbing over a fence while Digwa was allegedly still stabbing him.
One of the most shocking details heard by the jury is that police initially handcuffed Henry as he lay on the ground bleeding out, after Digwa reportedly claimed Henry was the aggressor and had made racist remarks.
The court also heard allegations that Digwa’s mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, removed the kirpan from the scene after the stabbing. She denies assisting an offender.
At the centre of all this is a young man who never came home.
A son.
A friend.
A life gone forever.
And every new detail emerging from this case is leaving people across the country horrified and heartbroken.
Imagine Henry’s family hearing that he was allegedly restrained while fighting for his life. Heartbreaking beyond words. Cases like this destroy public trust because people feel catastrophic mistakes are never properly acknowledged and this is why the police should be investigated and held to account for there massive failings and incompetence in Henry’s brutal murder, that’s not anti-police it’s about making sure every emergency response is fair, competent and focused on saving lives and that clearly didn’t happen in Henry’s case.
"Judge Nicholas said the boys were "very young, had low intelligence and had a limited understanding of consent."
that means they should be executed, not granted leniency
if you do not have the intelligence to not rape, you do not belong in society
