Newly surfaced footage shows Vickrum Digwa, who was convicted of murdering 18-year-old Henry Nowak, brandishing a gun in his back garden in Southampton. The video, recorded by a neighbor on October 18, 2022, captures Digwa and another individual shooting at a wooden board. Digwa was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Nowak, who was stabbed five times during a confrontation on December 3, 2025. The court heard that Digwa claimed he was racially abused by Nowak, which led to police actions that included handcuffing Nowak despite his pleas for help. Prosecutors described Digwa as having a 'weapon obsession' and noted that he filmed Nowak as he lay injured instead of calling for assistance. The incident has raised significant public concern, prompting an investigation into the police's response.
