Kiran Kaur, was sentenced to three years in jail for assisting her son, Vickrum Digwa, by removing a murder weapon, after he fatally stabbed Mr Nowak. Digwa is barred from Labour’s early release scheme, but Kaur is eligible to be freed as little as a third of the way through her three-year sentence. That means she could be freed in December – around the anniversary of Mr Nowak’s killing in Southampton – because she spent seven months in custody on remand before her trial. The Home Office say she could be in line for deportation.
