The minimum prison term for Vickrum Digwa, convicted of murder, has been increased to 25 years by the UK's Court of Appeal. Judges ruled that Digwa's original sentence was unduly lenient and subsequently rejected his appeal to have it reduced.
Digwa had sought to have the sentence, handed down following his conviction for the murder of Henry Nowak, lessened. However, the Court of Appeal found the initial term insufficient given the severity of the crime and imposed the longer minimum sentence.
