Henry Nowak killer sentence sent to Court of Appeal

Henry Nowak killer sentence sent to Court of Appeal

The solicitor general has referred the sentence given to Vickrum Digwa for the murder of Henry Nowak to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. This move indicates a challenge to the length of the punishment imposed on Digwa.

On 1 June, 23-year-old Digwa was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years. The sentence was handed down by Judge William Mousley KC at Southampton Crown Court following the conviction.

Addressing the situation, Solicitor General Ellie Reeves KC MP acknowledged the profound impact the crime has had on Henry Nowak’s family. She stated, “No sentence can ever undo the devastation that Henry’s family have suffered, or fill the void left by his loss.” Reeves went on to express hope that the referral might help provide some measure of justice to the grieving family.

Further updates on this case are expected as the story develops. Readers are encouraged to check back for the most recent information following the appeal referral
