Indian Woman Jailed for Assisting Son in UK Murder Faces Deportation
Kiran Kaur, a 53-year-old Indian national, was jailed for three years in the UK for assisting her son, Vickrum Digwa, who fatally stabbed 18-year-old Henry Nowak in Southampton last year. Kaur removed the murder weapon from the scene and is now facing possible deportation under a government scheme targeting foreign criminals. Both Kaur and her son have appealed their sentences, with hearings scheduled for November 5. The case drew attention after Digwa claimed religious self-defence, citing the kirpan, a ceremonial Sikh knife.
