Unknown Killers

Vickrum Digwa became known in British criminal history after the murder of 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak in Southampton, England, on December 3, 2025. Prosecutors argued Digwa fatally stabbed the first-year University of Southampton student during a confrontation before attempting to portray himself as the victim when police arrived at the scene. The case attracted national attention because of the circumstances surrounding the stabbing and the controversy that followed. During the investigation and trial, prosecutors alleged Digwa falsely claimed Henry had attacked him and subjected him to racial abuse. The jury rejected those claims and convicted Digwa of murder. Public discussion later expanded beyond the killing itself to include the initial police response, which became the subject of significant scrutiny and debate across the United Kingdom.
