Appeal Against Conviction and Sentence
Vickrum Digwa, who was convicted of murdering student Henry Nowak, is pursuing an appeal against both his conviction and sentence, the Court of Appeal has confirmed.
Digwa was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years in June, following the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton last December.
The Solicitor General, Ellie Reeves, had already referred the sentence to the Court of Appeal on the grounds that it was "unduly lenient."
