Murderer who killed schoolboy will not move to open prison after raps 'boasting' about his crime
David Lammy blocked Jake Fahri's transfer to an open prison due to public protection concerns after Fahri released drill music referencing the 2008 murder of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen.
- Following a Parole Board recommendation, a MoJ spokesperson blocked Jake Fahri's transfer to an open prison after allegations he released rap music referencing the murder.
- The Ministry of Justice said The Sun was preparing to publish a story alleging Fahri produced drill music about the killing, prompting his recall; Fahri initially disputed but then accepted he was masked artist Ten featured on BBC 1Xtra and streaming platforms.
- Long ago, Jake Fahri killed 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen in a south London bakery on May 10, 2008 when a glass dish shattered, severing blood vessels in Jimmy's neck and causing fatal injuries.
- A written decision said the Parole Board found Fahri needed to reflect on his attitude and was not fully honest with professionals, recommending open prison conditions while a Ministry of Justice spokesperson cited public protection and said the victim's family remain in their thoughts.
- Margaret Mizen, Jimmy's mother, told The Sun on Friday she was `shocked` by the recommendation and welcomed Lammy's rejection, noting Fahri has not changed his attitude.
