A second man has been arrested in connection with arson attacks on properties linked to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

Counter-terror officers from the Metropolitan Police have arrested a 26-year-old man at Luton Airport in Bedfordshire on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.

The arrest, which took place shortly before 2pm, follows fires at Sir Keir’s home in Kentish Town, London, as well as another property and a car linked to the Prime Minister earlier this month.

Roman Lavrynovych, a 21-year-old Ukrainian man, has already been charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life in connection with the fires.

Lavrynovych, of Sydenham, south-east London, denied arson in a police interview.

He appeared in court on Friday and was remanded in custody until a further hearing which is scheduled for June 6.
