Henry Nowak’s killer has launched a bid to have his murder conviction quashed and his sentence reduced.
Vickrum Digwa, 23, was jailed for life last month with a minimum 21-year term after he stabbed Mr Nowak, 18, to death in December with a ceremonial dagger.
Digwa did not know his teenage victim but ‘lied’ to officers at the scene by claiming Mr Nowak shouted racist abuse, punched him and knocked off his turban.
