A balaclava-clad drill rapper who boasted about murder in his song lyrics and was promoted by the BBC has been revealed as the alleged killer of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen.
Jake Fahri, who was then just 19, was convicted of the murder of 16-year-old Mizen after a fight broke out at a bakery in London in 2008.
Mizen, who was described by the Met Police as an “immaculate character”, bled to death after Fahri threw a large glass dish that shattered and severed an artery in his neck.
Fahri was sentenced to life in prison but was released in 2023 after serving 14 years of his sentence.

The now 35-year-old goes by the rapper name TEN and his music, which often features violent themes, has been promoted on the BBC.
DJ Theo Johnston on BBC 1Xtra said that “he really stands out”.
Whilst his radio tracks have been censored, the unfiltered versions of his songs can be found on Spotify and YouTube, with lyrics that seem to relate to Mizen’s murder.
In one song, Fahri raps: “Stuck it on a man and watched him melt like Ben and Jerry’s.
“Sharpen up my blade I’ve got to keep those necessary.
“Stay alert and kept it ready, any corner could be deadly.
“Judge took a look at me, before the trial even started he already knows he’s gonna throw the book at me”.
