The murderer of Henry Nowak has had his minimum prison term increased to 25 years.

Vickrum Digwa stabbed the 18-year-old student with a large dagger in Belmont Road, Southampton, on 3 December 2025.

His 21-year sentence was reviewed at the Court of Appeal, following a referral from the Attorney General, where judges agreed it was "unduly lenient" and refused him permission to appeal against it.
