Convicted Killer-Turned-Rapper Recalled to Prison Over Breach of Licence Conditions

Jake Fahri, who murdered schoolboy Jimmy Mizen in 2008, is under investigation after releasing music allegedly glorifying violence.

  • Jake Fahri, convicted of murdering 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen in 2008, has been recalled to prison for breaching his licence conditions.
  • Fahri, now 35, was revealed to be the masked drill rapper TEN, whose music includes lyrics that appear to reference Mizen's death.
  • The BBC faced criticism for featuring TEN's music on Radio 1Xtra, though the broadcaster stated it was unaware of his background and has no plans to play his tracks again.
  • The Probation Service confirmed Fahri's recall and emphasized that offenders released on licence are subject to strict conditions, which he violated.
  • The case has prompted public and political scrutiny, with calls for the BBC to reflect on its editorial decisions and concerns raised about the parole and prison systems.
