The murderer of schoolboy Jimmy Mizen has been recalled to prison after “shamelessly boasting” about his crime, the Probation Service said.

Jake Fahri, then 19, was convicted of murder after he threw a large glass dish that shattered, severing an artery in the 16-year-old’s neck, at a bakery in Lee, south-east London, in 2009.

The 35-year-old was released on licence in June 2023.

The Sun newspaper claimed that Fahri is masked drill artist Ten – who was showcased on BBC 1Xtra – and had recorded music referencing the murder.

Recall was initiated after he was found to have breached his licence conditions, the Probation Service said.

A spokesperson said: “Our thoughts are with Jimmy Mizen’s family who deserve better than to see their son’s murderer shamelessly boasting about his violent crime.”

On Thursday, Margaret Mizen described the rap lyrics as “absolutely horrendous”

“All offenders released on licence are subject to strict conditions. As this case shows, we will recall them to prison if they break the rules,” the Probation Service spokesperson added.

Margaret Mizen, Jimmy’s mother who was appointed MBE for charitable work since her son’s murder, told the BBC on Thursday she was “a little bit numb” and said that she would like answers over why the lyrics were allowed.
