A man is on trial accused of murdering a university student with an eight-inch ceremonial knife, according to court accounts. Prosecutors say 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa approached and fatally stabbed 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who was a student at the time of the killing. The prosecution alleges Digwa was skilled with knives and had trained with weapons since he was 12. The case also includes claims about the immediate police response after the attack. Court material reported by one outlet says Digwa sought to influence how police handled the incident, including by using racism as leverage to affect whether officers arrested Nowak while he was injured or “dying.”
The reports describe the prosecution’s allegations and the narrative presented in court, including Digwa’s claimed experience with blades. The sources provided do not include the defence position or any final verdict. The matter remains subject to the outcome of the trial and further evidence presented in court.
