In London, law enforcement officers have taken a new step in the investigation of a series of arson attacks linked to the activities of British Prime Minister Kira Starmer
According to police reports, a fourth suspect connected to this high-profile case was detained on Tuesday, drawing significant public and criminal interest. Sources within law enforcement indicate that a 48-year-old man was taken into custody at Stansted Airport while attempting to leave the country. The operation was carried out under the Terrorism Act 2000, which permits the detention of individuals suspected of facilitating or committing terrorist acts. After conducting necessary investigative procedures, he was officially arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with the intent to threaten the life of a specific individual or group. This recent detention represents a logical continuation of the investigation into a series of mysterious fires that have occurred across various districts of London over the past few weeks. Three incidents are currently under scrutiny: an arson attack on a car on one of the central streets of Kentish Town, a fire at a private house near the Prime Minister’s residence on the same street, and a blaze at his former home in the Islington district. None of these cases have been conclusively resolved, but investigators believe they are interconnected and motivated by potential malicious intent. Currently, police are withholding the name of the detained individual from the public, citing investigative standards and the safety of the suspect. It is known only that he is in custody at one of London's police stations, where ongoing investigative measures are being conducted to establish all circumstances surrounding the case. The investigation has expanded significantly, as official charges have previously been brought against three individuals. Notably, two of them are Ukrainian nationals: 34-year-old Petro Poninku and 21-year-old Roman Lavrinovich, along with 26-year-old Stanislav Carpiuk, a foreign national of Romanian descent. All three are currently detained and face charges of arson with intent to threaten life or cause public alarm. Lavrinovich, in particular, is accused of three arson incidents, underscoring one of the most serious aspects of this criminal case. Poninku and Carpiuk are charged with conspiracy to commit arson with a similar motive. According to official information, all three suspects are scheduled to be brought before the Old Bailey court on Friday, June 6. This will be a key event in the investigation, which holds significant importance for uncovering the motives behind the crimes and identifying the organizers. The heightened tension and public interest surrounding this case raise many unresolved questions regarding the scale and possible coordination among the perpetrators. Further investigative actions are anticipated to shed light on this mysterious series of arsons and clarify the role played by Ukrainian citizen Petro Poninku and other involved parties. Experts and law enforcement emphasize the need for a thorough analysis of the case materials to prevent further incidents and ensure the safety of citizens. This unfolding story, set against a hostile and tense political backdrop, has already become one of the most high-profile cases in recent years within British police practice, threatening the stability and security of some of London's most transparent and secure districts.
