The attacks included setting fire to a Toyota Rav4 once owned by Sir Keir and two houses, one of which was occupied by his sister-in-law and her family, with the Old Bailey hearing they posed a serious threat to life. Lavrynovych was additionally convicted of damaging two properties by fire, being reckless as to whether life was endangered, and both defendants have been remanded into custody for sentencing on Friday. The incidents were orchestrated by an anonymous Russian-speaking Telegram contact known as 'El Money,' who offered Lavrynovych £3,000 in cryptocurrency to film the blazes and ensure they made the news. Counter Terrorism Policing London confirmed there was no indication of a 'state threat,' but stated the attacks were intended to cause concern, disruption within the UK community, and fear for the prime minister.
