A third man has been charged in connection with arson attacks on properties linked to UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
The Metropolitan Police said on Wednesday that Petro Pochynok, a 34-year-old Ukrainian national, had been charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.
Charges were brought on Tuesday against Stanislav Carpiuc, a 26-year-old Romanian national born in Ukraine, and last week against Roman Lavrynovych, a 21-year-old Ukrainian.
The charges relate to three blazes, including one at Starmer’s family home in Kentish Town, and another involving a vehicle previously owned by the prime minister on the same street. A third fire was at a property in Islington that is also connected to Starmer.
