Killer who falsely accused victim of racism should have had longer sentence, court told
Attorney general refers 21-year minimum for Vickrum Digwa as unduly lenient; defence argues sentence is manifestly excessive
The attorney general has asked the court of appeal to increase the minimum 21-year sentence imposed on Vickrum Digwa for murdering 18-year-old Henry Nowak, arguing the term failed to account for “significant aggravating factors” including a false accusation of racism against the victim and abuse of a religious exemption to carry a knife.
