Vickrum Digwa, 23, is currently serving a minimum of 21 years in prison for the murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak, a finance student at Southampton University. Reports reveal that Digwa had a troubling history, having threatened another worshipper at the Gurdwara Guru Tegh Bahadar Sahib in Southampton seven months prior to the murder. The worshipper described Digwa as 'hotheaded' and claimed he engaged in intimidation and bullying over trivial matters. Digwa was previously banned from another temple due to similar concerns about his behavior. On the night of the murder, Digwa stabbed Nowak six times with an eight-inch ceremonial dagger, later lying to police that Nowak had attacked him. This led to Nowak being handcuffed and treated as a suspect while he was critically injured. Following the incident, an arsenal of weapons was discovered at Digwa's family home, raising questions about his obsession with weapons. Hampshire Police have since apologized for their handling of the situation, acknowledging the distress caused to Nowak and his family.
