Indian Woman Faces Deportation After Assisting Son in UK Fatal Stabbing Case
Kiran Kaur, a 53-year-old Indian national, was sentenced to three years in the UK for assisting her son, Vickrum Digwa, by removing the weapon used in the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton last year. While Digwa serves a life sentence, Kaur faces early release under a prison relief scheme and potential deportation to India. Both have appealed their sentences, with hearings scheduled for November 5. The case drew attention due to Digwa's claim that the weapon was a kirpan, a Sikh ceremonial knife legally carried in the UK.
