We are deeply sorry for the pain and suffering the Nowak family has had to endure.“We love Vickrum. We will continue to love him. That love does not stand in opposition to the sorrow we feel for the Nowak family. Both are real, and both will remain with us for the rest of our lives.“We would give anything to turn back time so the path of both Henry and Vickrum never crossed that night. We cannot change what has happened, we just hope that no further pain is caused in its name.“We apologise to the Sikh community for our son’s actions, which have unfairly brought the community into disrepute.”
