"Fahri, then 19, received a life sentence in 2009 with a minimum term of 14 years for the killing of 16-year-old schoolboy Jimmy Mizen. On 10 May 2008, in a south London bakery, Fahri threw an oven dish at Jimmy, which shattered and severed blood vessels in his neck. Witnesses reported seeing Fahri swaggering from the shop with a smile."
"The Sun newspaper had claimed that Fahri is masked drill artist Ten who was showcased on BBC 1Xtra, and that in one of his tracks available on Spotify and YouTube the balaclava-clad rapper appeared to reference Jimmy's death. In a Parole Board decision summary document, it said that Fahri gave evidence to the panel disputing the music was all about his own life but noted that since his recall he had accepted he was the artist known as Ten in the videos."
"The panel was not persuaded that he had provided an open and honest account of his music and that his failure to disclose the music work to his probation officer had been a breach of his licence. The panel also identified a number of other licence breaches. Mr Fahri had failed to disclose his use of the name Ten to Probation, he had breached his exclusion zone more than once, and he stayed overnight at an address that had not been approved by Probation."

The Parole Board found he had not given an open and honest account of his music and recorded multiple licence breaches, including undisclosed music activity, exclusion zone violations and staying at an unapproved address.
