To the fires linked to Sir Keir Starmer’s property and car that have been probed this week. It now transpires that a 21-year-old man has been charged with arson with intent to endanger life over attacks at properties linked to the Prime Minister. Roman Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian national living in Sydenham, London, is alleged to have started fires outside two properties and torching a vehicle in north London. He has been charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life and is due to appear at Westminster magistrates’ court on Friday.
It comes after the London Fire Brigade and the police had attended the property shortly after 1.30 a.m. on Monday. While the door to the four-bedroom home owned by the Prime Minister was damaged, no one was hurt. Later in the evening it emerged that counterterrorism officers were also investigating a blaze at a second property linked to Starmer as well as a vehicle fire. The vehicle fire occurred just before 3 a.m. last Thursday and it was on the same street as Starmer’s home.
Starmer is letting out the house, thought to be worth £2 million, to his wife’s sister after he and his family moved to Downing Street following Labour’s election win last summer. As of yet, it is not clear if the prime minister’s sister-in-law was at the property at the time of the attack.
