Watch ITV Evening News LIVE as man who murdered student with Sikh ceremonial knife jailed for life

The family of a student murdered by a weapons-obsessed man have said the way their son was treated by police as he died was "inhumane and degrading".

Henry Nowak, 18, was stabbed to death in Southampton by Vickrum Digwa who used a blade he carried as part of his Sikh faith.

When officers arrived Digwa lied and told them Henry racially abused him leading police to handcuff the teenager as he was fatally injured.

Today as Digwa was jailed for life for murder, with a minimum of 21 years, Henry's family said he'd lost conciousness before anyone believed him.

A judge told Digwa his callous crime had shamed his family and his faith, and had stirred up racial tension.
