Jimmy Mizen’s killer exposed as ‘breaching parole’ in rap video which could send him back to jail
A convicted murderer who became a rapper after his release from prison faces being sent back to jail after allegedly breaching his parole conditions by entering a restricted area of London.
Jake Fahri, who performs under the name TEN, was filmed making a music video near the O2 Arena in Greenwich – an area he is barred from entering under the terms of his 2023 release.
The Ministry of Justice is investigating after footage emerged showing the balaclava-wearing Fahri on Greenwich Peninsula with Canary Wharf visible in the background.
The video in question, titled “Dirty Game,” shows Fahri rapping alongside luxury vehicles at Blackwall Point Draw Dock near the O2 Arena.
The location falls within Fahri’s lifetime exclusion zone, which covers Greenwich and Bromley boroughs.
The footage was discovered by The Sun newspaper, who shared the evidence with the Ministry of Justice.
Margaret Mizen, mother of Fahri’s victim Jimmy, confirmed after viewing the video: “He is not allowed in certain boroughs. Greenwich is one of them.”
The exclusion zone was specifically designed to prevent Fahri from entering the area of South East London where he committed the murder in 2008.
Margaret Mizen, 72, has called for Fahri’s return to prison following the apparent breach of his licence conditions.

“He will have to. Otherwise the licence will be a laughing stock,” she said.
“If he has breached it then yes, he needs to go back to prison and really think about his life,” Mrs Mizen added.
Fighting back tears, she reflected: “Obviously, over this I’m leaning towards perhaps he needed to do more jail time.”
“When he came out of prison, Barry and I felt that, if he was a changed person, then prison had done some good. But if he is the way he is, what is the point?”
Fahri was convicted at the Old Bailey in 2009 for the murder of 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen, receiving a life sentence with a minimum term of 14 years.
The killing took place in a bakery in 2008, where Fahri threw a glass dish at Jimmy, fatally severing an artery.
He was released in June 2023 despite concerns noted in a report about his difficulties controlling anger.
The parole conditions included a lifetime ban from entering specific London boroughs, including Greenwich and Bromley, where the murder took place.
The controversial rap video, still available on GRM Daily’s YouTube channel with 6.5 million subscribers, features lyrics appearing to reference violence and court trials.
In the video, Fahri raps: “Said he wants to be a killer. Hit him with some insight. Start some murder trials, prosecution wearing pinstripes.”
The footage has drawn criticism from viewers, with one commenting: “I remember this happening, not far from where I lived. He needs locking up again until he learns.”
Another viewer wrote: “Flexing that you killed a 16 year-old is disgusting.”
The channel’s own audience has also condemned the video, with one stating: “Should never have been released, horrible, evil person clearly on display here.”
The Ministry of Justice has launched an urgent investigation into Fahri’s music and behaviour since his release.
Mrs Mizen expressed concern about the potential celebrity status the controversy might bring to her son’s killer.
“The worst of this is it will make him a celebrity to some,” she said.
“The films, if and when they’re out there again, they’ll just go up, because people will be viewing them. Is that good? I don’t know.”
She also questioned the effectiveness of prison rehabilitation programmes, noting: “We have been into prisons. We know they do courses, but the courses are often done, just to say, ‘I’ve done a course’.”
