Meanwhile, Akeem Brookes was charged separately with Attempted Arson and Malicious Damage. He is accused of attempting to set fire to the home of a woman in Grays Farm on Friday 9th<\/sup> June. Brookes apparently was involved in a relationship with the woman, which ended abruptly.

A report was made to the police and he was arrested and taken into custody. His committal date is also set for 12th<\/sup> September, 2017.<\/p>\n
