Henry Nowak's killer has life sentence increased
What the coverage says
Vickrum Digwa challenged his life sentence for murdering Henry Nowak, leading his family to dismiss the appeal as "ludicrous" according to the BBC. The Guardian reported that Digwa's KC described the punishment as 'manifestly excessive,' while noting arguments that the term should have been longer due to false accusations of racism leveled against the victim. Sky News added that the legal challenge to reduce the jail term failed on the same day the Attorney General succeeded in lengthening it. The Independent specified that the Court of Appeal ruled on Thursday to increase the minimum term after deeming the original sentence "unduly lenient."
