The article doesn’t mention the police’s initial response.
Here’s a excerpt from the BBC:-
Previously, the court heard the University of Southampton first year student was walking back to his accommodation from a night out, after drinking to a level below the drink-drive limit.
Jurors were told the attack, which resulted in five stab wounds or cuts, was not witnessed and Nowak tried to escape by climbing over a fence.
Police initially handcuffed the victim before discovering his fatal injury a short time later, the court previously heard.
Digwa, of St Denys Road, Southampton, said he did not tell police he had stabbed Nowak because he was “scared”.
His mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, is also on trial and denies assisting an offender by removing a weapon from the murder scene.

Now comes the most insulting and enraging part of this story - the defense is going to slander the victim by saying he was drunk, abusive, dangerous and threatening to the poor defendant. And probably made racist statements to boot. And the victim won’t be able to defend himself from the slander.
Someone says something so it’s OK to stab/kill them back in the old country
“A Sikh man accused of the murder of a first-year university student has told a court that he had acted in self-defence after the teenager had racially abused him”. Racial abuse must be enough.
The race-card is even more potent in the UK
This is a case where the mob may have to take the law into its own hands.
I thought I read elsewhere that he had the supposed ceremonial knife, but another larger knife was the murder weapon. Perhaps that was a different stabbing case.
Keep importing cultural incompatibles and expect more of this
It’s crazy that a society that refuses to let its citizens arm themselves carves out an exception for one religious minority.
