A Sikh man who stabbed an innocent teen to death in the United Kingdom over a bogus racism claim was convicted on Monday and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 21 years. Vickrum Digwa killed 18-year-old Henry Nowak on December 3, 2025, as Nowak was walking back to his dorm in Southampton — a city about 80 miles southwest of London. Nowak was handcuffed by authorities as he lay dying on the ground over a bogus racism claim made by his murderer. While Britain has strict laws on carrying knives in public, Digwa was permitted to carry his “ceremonial blade” because of his Sikh heritage. When police first arrived on scene that December night, Digwa told authorities Nowak racially abused him and Digwa acted in self-defense. Incredibly, authorities arrested the bloodied, dying teen as he was bleeding on the ground even though Nowak reportedly told them he had been stabbed and couldn’t breathe. Nowak was told he was under arrest for assault just before he died.
