Second man arrested over fires at homes linked to PM

A second man has been arrested in connection with alleged arson attacks in north London at properties connected to Sir Keir Starmer.

The 26-year-old was arrested on Saturday at London Luton Airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.

The arrest relates to three incidents: a vehicle fire in Kentish Town, a fire at the prime minister's private home on the same street, and a fire at an address he previously lived at in north-west London.

Another man, Roman Lavrynovych, 21, who the BBC understands is a builder and roofer, appeared in court on Friday and is accused of three counts of arson with intent to endanger life following the fires. He did not enter any pleas.
