A 21-year-old man has been charged with arson after London properties linked to Sir Keir Starmer caught on fire.
Roman Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian national from Sydenham, southeast London, has been charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life, the Metropolitan Police said.
Officers arrested the suspect in the early hours of Tuesday after fires at two homes in north London within 24 hours of each other. Counterterror police were investigating whether the fires were linked because of the properties’ connection to Sir Keir.
Lavrynovych is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.
