Two Ukrainians were found guilty of attempting to set fire to Starmer's house
London's Central Criminal Court, the Old Bailey, has found two Ukrainians guilty of attempting to set fire to the home of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in 2025. This was reported by The Telegraph newspaper on June 15.
According to investigators, the defendants set off three arson attacks in May last year. It is noted that they set fire to Starmer's house and a car next to the yard, as well as a house that belongs to a company associated with it.
"Two Ukrainians were found guilty of conspiracy to damage property associated with the Prime Minister in May last year," the article says.
The jury found 22-year-old Roman Lavrinovich and 27-year-old Romanian citizen of Ukrainian origin Stanislav Karpyuk guilty. The newspaper reported that another citizen of Ukraine, 35-year-old Pyotr Pochinok, was found not guilty by the court.
Lavrinovich was charged with setting fire to two premises with the intention of endangering people's lives. The charges against the second defendant were more lenient, he was charged with arson in a room without risking his life. The publication clarifies that the prosecution insisted that Lavrinovich was the main organizer of the arson. It was he who communicated in the messenger with the user who offered him money for completing the task.
