BBC:
Police officers have been pelted with missiles during a protest near the Southampton home of Henry Nowak's killer.

A crowd of several hundred initially took part in a demonstration outside Southampton Central Police Station before gathering close to the family home of Vickrum Digwa in St Denys.

The 23-year-old was jailed for life on Monday after being convicted of murdering Nowak, 18, as he walked back to his student accommodation in Southampton in December 2025.

Responding to the clashes with police, the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood described the scenes as "completely unacceptable".
