Court of Appeal increases Henry Nowak killer's life sentence to 25 years

• Murderer Vickrum Digwa has had the minimum term of his life sentence increased from 21 years to 25 years by the Court of Appeal.
• The 23-year-old fatally stabbed 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton before filming his dying victim and lying to emergency services.
• Attorney general Ellie Reeves referred the sentence as unduly lenient, arguing it failed to reflect aggravating factors such as Digwa abusing his religious privilege to carry a knife.
• Lady chief justice Baroness Carr ruled that the original 21-year minimum term did not adequately reflect the overall seriousness of the murder.
• Three senior judges rejected Digwa's attempt to challenge his sentence as excessive, increasing his minimum term to 25 years.
