Second man charged over fires at homes linked to UK PM Keir Starmer
Briefly

Two men have been charged with arson offenses over fires targeting properties associated with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London. Stanislav Carpiuc, a Romanian national, is accused of endangering life, while the first suspect, Roman Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian, has denied similar charges. A third individual was also arrested but remains unnamed. The fires occurred between May 8 and 12, with no injuries reported. Starmer condemned the attacks as threats to democracy, amid warnings from security officials about potential Russian sabotage tactics against Western allies.
The charges and recent arrests relate to three incidents—arson at Prime Minister Keir Starmer's home and two vehicle fires, occurring between May 8 and 12.
Starmer labeled the arson incidents 'an attack on all of us, on our democracy and the values we stand for,' signaling broader implications beyond personal threat.
