The Spin


Vickrum Digwa's 21-year sentence for murdering Henry Nowak is being challenged through the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme, and the Court of Appeal will now decide if it should be increased. Henry was kind and much-loved, and his family deserves real justice. Serious questions also remain about how police handled the case, and those answers are long overdue.

Referring Digwa's sentence to the Court of Appeal doesn't go nearly far enough — Digwa stabbed Henry Nowak five times, filmed him dying instead of calling an ambulance, then handed the murder weapon to his mother. A lenient sentence review is a weak response to a savage killing. The police officers who stood by while Henry bled out should also face criminal charges for gross negligence manslaughter.
