Mother jailed for helping remove knife from murder scene

Kiran Kaur, the mother of Henry Nowak's murderer, has been sentenced to three years in prison in the UK for her role in assisting the killer. The 53-year-old was found guilty of assisting an offender after taking the murder weapon, a knife, back to her family home on the night of the killing, December 3, 2025.

A responsible parent would have challenged their son over their actions and encourage them to do the right thing. Instead you took the knife home and put it with a larger collection of ceremonial and other weapons in your son's bedroom. That would have helped to conceal what it had been used for.

Sentencing Kaur at Southampton Crown Court, Judge William Mousley KC noted that a responsible parent would have challenged their son's actions. Instead, Kaur took the knife home and placed it in her son's bedroom among a collection of weapons, a move the judge said helped conceal the knife's use in the crime.

Kaur's son, Digwa, was previously convicted of murder and carrying a knife in public. He received a life sentence with a minimum of 21 years for stabbing 18-year-old finance student Mr. Nowak with a ceremonial knife. Digwa had falsely claimed Mr. Nowak had racially abused him.

I've been stabbed

A British police watchdog investigation into how officers handled the case of Mr. Nowak is expected to report within three months. Mr. Nowak was handcuffed by police as he lay dying from stab wounds. Body-worn camera footage appeared to show him saying, "I've been stabbed" and "I can't breathe."
