Arson Connection Fires UK: British police have charged a man with arson following a series of fires targeting UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
Roman Lavrynovych, 21, from Sydenham and a Ukrainian national, faces three counts of arson with intent to endanger life.
He is accused of setting fire to the Prime Minister’s £2 million north London home on Monday night, just days after a car and a flat previously owned by the Labour leader were also torched. The three fires occurred between May 8 and 12.
Lavrynovych is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
He was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morning and has remained in custody.
Since moving into Downing Street last year, Sir Keir has rented the four-bedroom house in Kentish Town to his sister-in-law at a nominal rent.
The fire damaged the property’s porch, but firefighters contained it within 20 minutes, preventing it from spreading further inside.
