Mother of Henry Nowak killer to be freed early from prison
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 20:44 · Archive
The mother of Henry Nowak's killer is to be released early from prison under a government early release scheme.
Kiran Kaur, an Indian national, was sentenced to three years in prison in July for removing the knife her son Vickrum Digwa used to kill Henry Nowak from the crime scene on 3 December 2025 and taking it back to their family home. Under a government early release scheme, Kaur will serve less than half her sentence and is expected to be released around the anniversary of Nowak's death, according to reports.
Despite being eligible for early release, Kaur is also appealing her sentence and is scheduled to appear in the Court of Appeal on 5 November. She is also eligible for the government's deportation scheme, though no decision has reportedly been made on whether she will be deported after serving the minimum term of her sentence.
At sentencing, Judge William Mousley KC said: 'A responsible parent would have challenged their son over their actions and encourage them to do the right thing.' The Home Office said: 'Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Henry Nowak, whose life was cruelly cut short in a horrific act of violence. We will always seek to deport foreign criminals at the first opportunity.'
