"Ukrainian nationals Roman Lavrynovych, 21, and Petro Pochynok, 35, were accused of targeting two properties and a car linked to the PM, along with Ukrainian-born Romanian national Stanislav Carpiuc, 27. The men appeared at the Old Bailey via video link from HMP Belmarsh in south-east London on Friday. The charges relate to three incidents: a vehicle fire in Kentish Town, a fire at the prime minister's private home on the same street, and a fire at an address where he previously lived in north-west London."
"Mr Lavrynovych, of Sydenham, and Mr Pochynok, of north London, pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life. Mr Carpiuc, of Romford, was not asked to enter his plea for the same charge. The prosecution indicated that the case was not being treated as having a terrorist connection. Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb said the circumstances of the alleged offences were "somewhat opaque"."
