Man who said knife was carried as part of Sikh faith guilty of murdering Southampton student

Prosecutors said Vickrum Digwa lied about the fatal attack on Henry Nowak after claiming self-defence

A man has been found guilty of murdering a university student with a 21cm-long knife that he claimed he was carrying for religious reasons.

When police arrived at the scene in Southampton, Vickrum Digwa, 23, claimed his victim, 18-year-old Henry Nowak, had racially abused him and knocked his turban off, prompting police to handcuff the teenager before they discovered his fatal wounds.
