Man guilty of murdering student with ceremonial knife

A man was found guilty of murdering 18‑year‑old student Henry Nowak with a 21cm ceremonial Sikh blade; his mother was convicted of assisting and sentencing is imminent.
Police initially handcuffed the wounded student after a misleading 999 call; the force has self‑referred to the IOPC and apologised over its response.
The case has sparked debate about the kirpan’s legal limits and prompted widespread tributes from Nowak’s family and the university.
