A 21-year-old man, Roman Lavrynovych, is in serious trouble. He is accused of setting fires in north London. These fires are connected to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer. Lavrynovych is a builder and roofer. He appeared in court and spoke only to confirm his personal details. He did not plead guilty or not guilty to the charges. Lavrynovych is accused of three counts of arson. These incidents happened over four days.

The court heard that Lavrynovych denied the charges when he was interviewed. He was arrested in Sydenham and charged a couple of days later. The police's Counter Terror Command handled the case. This is because the fires are linked to a high-profile figure. The first fire was at Sir Keir's old home in Kentish Town. The fire started early in the morning. The property is rented to Sir Keir's sister-in-law. No one was hurt, but the entrance was damaged.

Four days before the Kentish Town fire, a car was set alight. This car was sold by Sir Keir to a neighbor. The car was on the same street as the Kentish Town home. A few days later, another fire broke out. This time, it was at a house in Islington. The house is connected to Sir Keir. Firefighters helped one person escape through an internal staircase. The fires seem to be part of a pattern. But the motive behind them is still a mystery. The court heard that a slow-burning accelerant was used in at least one of the fires. This adds another layer of complexity to the case. It is unclear why these fires were started. The investigation is ongoing, and more details may emerge in the future.
