The mother of Henry Nowak’s killer has been sentenced to three years in prison<\/a> for removing the blade used to murder the Southampton student from the scene.<\/p>\n Vickrum Digwa is serving a minimum of 21 years behind bars for the stabbing death of Henry, 18, in December last year.<\/p>\n Today Digwa’s mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, was sentenced after being found guilty in May for assisting her son, with Judge William Mousley KC telling her a responsible parent would have asked their child to \u201cdo the right thing\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cYou took the knife and put it at home with other weapons in your son’s bedroom,\u201d he said, adding her actions had “helped to conceal<\/a> what it had been used for”.<\/p>\n The judge described Henry as a \u201cmuch loved, kind and devoted young man\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cYour son murdered him,\u201d he told Kaur, who dabbed her eyes with a tissue as she was led from the dock.<\/p>\n Kelly Newman, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said after Kaur’s sentencing: “Those who seek to help murderers evade justice should be in no doubt that they too will be held accountable for their actions.”<\/p>\n After fatally stabbing Henry, Digwa falsely claimed<\/a> to police that he had been the victim of a racist attack. Police bodycam footage was later released showing Henry being arrested despite suffering several stab wounds, leading to intense public criticism of the police.<\/p>\n
