Last year, a man by the name of Thuraisingham Kumanaraj caused quite a stir when he broke into the prestigious Buckingham Palace. At 52 years old, Kumanaraj scaled the gates of the royal residence in London and managed to make his way to the courtyard. According to reports, he triggered the security system at around 9:30pm and it took police approximately four minutes to respond to the scene.
When questioned by officers, Kumanaraj claimed that he had no idea where he was and was simply looking for a place to relieve himself. However, upon further investigation, it was discovered that he had been using his phone to search for Buckingham Palace and members of the royal family. This led to Kumanaraj being charged with trespassing on a protected site and he later admitted to the offense in court.
But this wasn't the only incident involving Kumanaraj in the span of a month. Just a few weeks after his Buckingham Palace break-in, he was caught urinating outside a primary school in Brick Lane, east London. When police attempted to arrest him, he ended up assaulting four officers, leaving one with injuries to the chin and throat. Two days later, he attempted to steal a woman's handbag by grabbing it from her neck and dragging her on the ground outside of Epping Station in north London.
Kumanaraj eventually admitted to four counts of assaulting an emergency worker and was found guilty of attempted theft. As a result, he received a suspended prison sentence and was ordered to undergo rehabilitation. He was also banned from going near any protected sites.
In other London news, a 16-year-old boy was tragically stabbed to death on a street, with another teen being arrested in connection with the incident. In other developments, it was recently revealed that there is a hidden bomb shelter under the bustling city and plans for a new £400,000,000 skyscraper have been announced.
This isn't the first time that Buckingham Palace has been targeted by intruders. In 2019, a 22-year-old man managed to scale the fence of the palace in the early hours of the morning and get dangerously close to the Queen herself. And in 1982, an unemployed laborer named Michael Fagan made headlines when he successfully got into the Queen's bedroom while she was sleeping.
Fagan had been banging on doors in an attempt to enter the palace and eventually made his way to the Queen's bedroom, where he began discussing his personal problems. The Queen immediately pressed the panic button by her bed, but no one responded. She then called the switchboard, but the operator thought it was a prank and didn't believe it was the Queen on the line.
In a desperate attempt to get Fagan to leave, the Queen's aide, Paul Whybrew, arrived and was able to calm him down before eventually subduing him. This remains one of the most infamous Buckingham Palace break-ins to date.
