Man charged over fires targeting properties linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer
A Ukrainian man has been charged with three counts of arson for fires that targeted two properties and a car linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The Metropolitan Police force said Roman Lavrynovych, 21, who was arrested Tuesday, was charged with arson with intent to endanger life.
The charges are linked to three incidents over the past week — a car fire last Thursday, a blaze on Monday at Starmer's private home that damaged the door of the house, and a fire on Sunday outside a north London house converted into apartments connected to the UK leader. No injuries were reported from any of the fires.
