Vickrum Digwa, sentenced to life with a minimum of 21 years for the murder of Henry Nowak, has been granted permission to appeal his sentence. The Court of Appeal will review the case on November 5, including a referral from the Attorney General's office, which contends that the sentence is too lenient.
In addition to the appeal against his sentence, Digwa is also seeking to challenge his murder conviction. The case has drawn significant public attention, particularly due to the police response during the incident and subsequent protests.
