Henry Nowak’s killer’s minimum jail term increased to 25 years

Highlights

  • Digwa’s minimum term increased from 21 to 25 years after three senior judges ruled the original sentence failed to reflect the seriousness of the murder.
  • Judges said the lawful carrying of a Sikh religious blade did not reduce the seriousness of its subsequent unlawful use.
  • Digwa’s mother, Kiran Kaur, has abandoned her appeal against her three-year sentence for hiding the murder weapon.
  • An independent review is examining the police response to the killing and possible missed opportunities to intervene.
