Convicted - Vickrum Digwa - Kiran Kaur
This infobox grouping is misleading: Kiran Kaur was not convicted of murder. She was convicted of assisting an offender.
Full reasoning
In the infobox, the only conviction listed is murder, and both Vickrum Digwa and Kiran Kaur are placed under the Convicted field. That presentation implies that both people were convicted of murder.
But official statements distinguish the two outcomes:
- Digwa was sentenced for murder.
- Kaur was convicted of assisting an offender, not murder.
So the infobox is inaccurate as written because it groups Kaur under a murder conviction she did not receive.

Digwa was sentenced to life imprisonment. He will serve a minimum term of 21 years. His mother, Kiran Kaur, has been convicted of "assisting an offender". She is due to be sentenced on 17 July.
On 2 June 2026, Hampshire Police released body‑worn camera footage showing the officers' arrival, their interactions with Digwa and Nowak, and Nowak's death after being handcuffed.
The footage was publicly released on Monday, 1 June 2026, not on 2 June 2026.
Full reasoning
This sentence gets the release date wrong.
Official statements made on 2 June 2026 referred to the bodycam footage as having been released "last night", which places the release on 1 June 2026. Contemporary news reporting the next day also described the footage as having been released on Monday, i.e. 1 June 2026.
So the article's statement that Hampshire Police released the footage on 2 June 2026 is off by one day.

- Badenoch says 'making people angry' wrong response to Henry Nowak murder | ITV News
Published Tuesday 2 June 2026 ... Body-worn camera footage showing the arrest of teenager Mr Nowak ... was released on Monday, after the man responsible for his murder was sentenced to at least 21 years in prison.
The judge rejected Digwa's accusations that Nowak had physically or racially abused him.
The judge rejected the racism allegation, but not every claim of physical contact. His sentencing remarks say there may have been a struggle and that Digwa's turban may have been knocked or pulled off.
Full reasoning
This sentence overstates what the judge found.
In his sentencing remarks, Judge Mousley did clearly reject the claim that Henry Nowak made racist remarks, saying: "I am sure that Henry had said nothing racist."
But he did not reject all claims of physical contact. Instead, he said:
- after Digwa grabbed Henry's phone, "That may have led to a physical struggle"; and
- Digwa's turban "may have been knocked, pulled or, potentially, punched off [his] head."
So it is inaccurate to say the judge rejected accusations that Nowak had physically abused Digwa in full. The judge rejected the racism allegation and some specific lies, but he left open that there was some physical struggle between the two men.

The judge said Henry 'had said nothing racist.' But he also said Henry wanting his phone back 'may have led to a physical struggle' and that Digwa's turban 'may have been knocked, pulled or, potentially, punched off your head.'
