According to BBC News, an independent review has been announced into the murder of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old student who was fatally stabbed in Southampton in December. The BBC reported that the killing was carried out by Vickrum Digwa.

The Guardian reported that Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, has launched a review to examine whether opportunities were missed to prevent the murder. According to the Guardian's summary, the move follows claims that there were several warning signs that Digwa had a history of threatening behaviour and an obsession with weapons.

The two reports differ in one respect. The BBC described the review as independent, while the Guardian's summary did not use that word. The Guardian's summary was also incomplete and did not say what the review will cover beyond whether opportunities were missed, or who will carry it out.

The Guardian's summary did not state whether the warning-sign claims have been confirmed. Neither report, as available to this newspaper, gave further details of the claims or of the review's timetable.
