Kiran Kaur accused of 'playing the system' in prison with language and TV demands

Kiran Kaur has reportedly irritated prison staff with a series of requests after being jailed for hiding the ceremonial blade her son used to kill 18-year-old student Henry Nowak, according to The Sun. The report claims sources have accused Kaur of “playing the system” while serving her sentence. Kaur's son, Vickrum Digwa, 23, murdered Henry in Southampton last December as the first-year student was walking home after a night out, the source reports. Kaur was later imprisoned for concealing the weapon. According to the article, her actions also assisted Digwa as he falsely claimed to police that Henry had made racist remarks. The report says Henry was consequently placed in handcuffs while he lay dying. The latest claims concern Kaur's conduct behind bars, where the newspaper says she is being closely monitored by prison staff. Sources quoted by the publication allege that the Indian national has been making unusual demands and has particularly frustrated staff over questions surrounding her ability to speak and understand English. The article's headline says Kaur maintains that she “can't speak English” while also claiming that she watches British television soaps. The newspaper presents that alleged contrast as part of claims from unnamed sources that she is exploiting prison procedures. It also reports that she has been demanding translation-related assistance while incarcerated. These descriptions of Kaur's behaviour come from sources cited by the publication rather than direct comments from Kaur in the supplied report. The underlying conviction, meanwhile, relates to her concealment of the ceremonial blade after her son's fatal attack on Henry, whose death and the subsequent handling of the case have remained under scrutiny.
