Vickrum Digwa, convicted of murdering 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton, is seeking to appeal both his conviction and his sentence. Multiple outlets report that Digwa stabbed Nowak to death in December and was later sentenced to life imprisonment.
The sentence reported across sources is a minimum of 21 years in custody, with Digwa receiving the minimum term in June. The Court of Appeal is cited as confirming that his application to appeal is under way.
While the coverage focuses on the appeal process, all accounts agree on the core timeline: the fatal stabbing in December, Digwa’s subsequent conviction and life sentence, and his move to challenge the outcome at appeal. No source provided details on the specific grounds for the appeal, and none describe any change yet to the conviction or sentence. The case therefore remains at the stage of appeal against the original conviction and term handed down at sentencing.
