A new arrest has been made in connection with a series of arson attacks on properties associated with Keir Starmer. The Metropolitan Police disclosed that a 19-year-old suspect from Harlow, Essex, was apprehended on suspicion of conspiring to commit arson. This individual has been released under investigation after being questioned at a police station in Essex.

In a separate case, three men are set to face trial at the Old Bailey in April for allegedly targeting two properties and a vehicle following the arson incidents that occurred last May. Meanwhile, a fourth suspect has been released without charges, according to a police spokesperson.

Court proceedings revealed that two of the fires occurred in Kentish Town, north London, with one of them happening at the previous residence of the Prime Minister before he took office. Additionally, a car was set on fire on the same street a few days earlier, while another incident occurred at a house in Islington.

Individuals involved in the case, including Ukrainian nationals Roman Lavrynovych and Petro Pochynok, along with Romanian national Stanislav Carpiuc, have pleaded not guilty to charges related to arson with intent to endanger life. The investigation, led by counter-terrorism officers, is still ongoing.

The Prime Minister previously condemned the attack on his family home as an assault on the community at large. The suspects are currently in custody awaiting their trial scheduled for April 27.
