Roman Lavrynovych, a 21-year-old from southeastern London, made a court appearance after being charged with starting fires at two residences and a car linked to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Arrested on Tuesday, Lavrynovych is facing three counts of arson with the intent to endanger life. During the proceedings at Westminster Magistrates' Court, he confirmed his identity through an interpreter. The prosecuting lawyer revealed that both properties and the car were connected to the Prime Minister, highlighting the unexplained nature of the offenses. Lavrynovych will remain in custody until his next court appearance at the Old Bailey on June 6. The incidents involved one fire at Starmer's former family home in Kentish Town and another blaze in Islington, with police confirming no injuries but damage reported.
