Newly released court transcripts reveal that Vickrum Digwa, the 23-year-old man jailed for life for murdering 18-year-old British student Henry Nowak in Southampton, falsely portrayed his victim as a racist after being prompted by his older brother Gurpreet.
Digwa murdered Nowak in December, stabbing him five times with a ceremonial Sikh kirpan.
During the confrontation, Digwa plunged the blade into Nowak's chest and abdomen, and cut his face. The chest wound was ultimately fatal.
Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, aided her son after the murder by hiding the murder weapon.
