Vickrum Digwa has been found guilty of murdering university student Henry Nowak in Southampton, an event that has prompted an official investigation into the conduct of the responding police officers.

Vickrum Digwa 被裁定在南安普頓謀殺大學生 Henry Nowak，此事促使官方對接警處理警察的行為展開調查。

The incident occurred on December 3, during which Digwa utilized a 21cm ceremonial kirpan to inflict five stab wounds upon the 18-year-old victim, including a lethal puncture to the heart. While the defense asserted that the weapon was carried for religious purposes and that the defendant acted in self-defense following a racially motivated assault by the victim, the prosecution characterized these claims as fabrications. Evidence presented at Southampton Crown Court indicated that Digwa possessed a secondary, smaller blade sufficient for religious observance, suggesting the larger weapon was carried by choice. Furthermore, the defendant was recorded stating 'I am a bad man' immediately prior to the assault. Consequently, the jury convicted Digwa of murder and the illegal possession of a bladed weapon; his mother, Kiran Kaur, was convicted of assisting an offender by removing the weapon from the scene.

該事件發生於 12 月 3 日，期間 Digwa 使用一把 21 公分的儀式用 Kirpan 匕首對 18 歲的受害者造成五處刺傷，其中一處刺穿心臟導致死亡。雖然辯方主張攜帶該武器是出於宗教目的，且被告是在遭受受害者種族動機攻擊後採取正當防衛，但檢方將這些說法定性為捏造。南安普頓刑事法院提交的證據顯示，Digwa 擁有一把較小且足以滿足宗教儀式的備用刀，這表明攜帶較大武器是其個人選擇。此外，紀錄顯示被告在襲擊前曾說過「我是個壞人」。因此，陪審團裁定 Digwa 謀殺及非法持有刃具罪名成立；其母親 Kiran Kaur 則因將武器從現場移走而被裁定協助罪犯罪名成立。

Concurrent with the criminal proceedings, the operational response of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary has come under scrutiny. Upon arrival, officers handcuffed the fatally injured Nowak after Digwa falsely identified himself as the victim of a racist attack. Although Deputy Chief Constable Robert France stated that first aid was administered within three minutes and that the internal nature of the wounds rendered the outcome inevitable regardless of police intervention, the force has issued a formal apology for the arrest of the victim. This sequence of events has attracted external criticism, including an offer from Elon Musk to finance a private prosecution. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has initiated a mandatory investigation into the use of restraints and the adequacy of the medical assistance provided.

與刑事訴訟同步地，漢普郡與威特島警察局的行動應對也受到了質疑。警員抵達現場後，由於 Digwa 謊稱自己是種族攻擊的受害者，導致警員將受致命傷的 Nowak 戴上手銬。儘管副警察局長 Robert France 表示在三分鐘內已提供急救，且由於傷口在內部，無論警方是否干預，結果都不可避免，但警局仍就逮捕受害者一事正式道歉。這一系列事件引起了外部批評，包括 Elon Musk 提出願意資助私人起訴。警察行為獨立辦公室 (IOPC) 已對使用拘束手段及醫療救助是否充分啟動強制調查。

Vickrum Digwa and Kiran Kaur await sentencing, while the IOPC continues its inquiry into the police department's handling of the victim.

Vickrum Digwa 與 Kiran Kaur 正等待量刑，而 IOPC 則繼續對警察局處理受害者的方式進行調查。
