The man who murdered Henry Nowak and lied that he was the victim of a racist attack is facing new weapons charges – along with his dad and brother.
Vickrum Digwa, who was jailed for life on Monday, faces six counts of possessing an offensive weapon in a private place.
The 23-year-old's dad, Moga Singh, 52, and brother, Gurpreet Digwa, 27, are accused of the same charges, while Gurpreet Digwa faces four additional counts. The charges include possessing an axe, air rifle and knife.
The fresh charges come after a flick knife, extendable baton, knuckledusters, a machete, swords and kusaris were allegedly found.
The three defendants are due to appear in court this afternoon. Meanwhile, Gigwa’s mum, Kiran Kaur, is awaiting sentencing for assisting an offender by taking the knife used to kill Henry to the family home. The 53-year-old will be sentenced on July 17.
I did wonder why the brother wasn't involved in court proceedings yesterday.He was heavily involved in the incident and also lied to the police...
 
When people talked about two-tier policing and two-tier justice, I thought it was a load of bollocks. However, this case has changed my stance. First of all, why the **** do Sikhs have a legal dispensation to carry knives in public, a privilege not afforded to any other ethnic or religious group? What the ****’s all that about? Secondly, Henry told the officer that he had been stabbed multiple times and instead of checking for injuries as a first responder should, he callously said ‘I don’t think so, mate’ and restrained a dying 18-year-old. Why? Because some **** made a false accusation of racism against him and apparently, being accused of racism is worse than stabbing someone.
To be fair, this may genuinely be the first time I've ever seen a report of a Sikh committing a crime.

Alas, he did and the coppers involved should have the book thrown at them for ignoring the victim
 
I don't know if anyone has been following the Nottingham inquiry into the three killed on the train, but the failings in the system are even worse than those surrounding the Nowak case. Several different official bodies admit that the race of the perpetrator affected how he was dealt with in the months prior to events. It was all very avoidable.

There are numerous others being mentioned too.

The system needs ripping apart and rebuilding.
Do you have a link? Thanks
 
The Henry Nowak case is absolutely shocking. The coppers should be prosecuted for manslaughter as well.
I cannot defend the police, they failed to listen to Henry and that is disgusting behaviour and needs answers, with consequences. One of the officers has resigned.
There is a massive protest in Southampton outside a Police station.

But, there is more to this than what you may have seen reported. Everything led the officers to believe that Henry was drunk and had racially attacked someone. The whole family protected the killer, the mother took the knife and hid it, the brother lied when he called police and then the killer played the victim card. Male members of the family were in court today charged with having offensive weapons, including Japanese swords and weighted chains. The Sikh community, knew that the murderer had issues with knifes, he wasn't carrying a kirpan, he had a Persian style knife. The issue is that being Sikh he could legally carry a bladed knife that was up to 9 inches long and as his was "only" 8 inches, he could claim he was carrying it for religious purposes.
 
Own up, I did a bit of checking and it appears the last time the riot act was read, 'someone' snatched the paper it was written on from the magistrate attempting to read it. This took place in ... :emoticon-0103-cool:


It's our time.
I read the riot act to the 3 youngest grandkids yesterday when they were niggling each other and kept slamming the front door on their frequent tell-tale trips to Grumpy Grandad!!!
