Overview
- Kiran Kaur was sentenced to three years in prison on Friday for assisting an offender after a jury found she took the kirpan from the scene and hid it at the family home.
- A Crown Prosecution Service transcript published this week records Vickrum Digwa telling his brother in a police van that he stabbed Henry Nowak and saying “I am a fool.”
- Digwa was convicted of murder in June and given a life sentence with a minimum term of 21 years, a decision that has been referred to the Court of Appeal and is subject to his appeal efforts.
- Court evidence showed the kirpan was placed among a larger collection of ceremonial and other weapons at the family address and the removal delayed police from identifying the murder weapon.
- Release of police body-worn footage showing Nowak handcuffed while dying prompted national protests, two officer misconduct probes, and a coroner’s inquest scheduled to sit in Winchester next year.
