THE BBC could face a government probe for allowing Jimmy Mizen’s killer to be promoted on the airwaves. Fury erupted today after The Sun unmasked a balaclava-wearing drill rapper to be murder convict Jake Fahri. He was recently freed following a life prison sentence for the 2008 murder of 16-year-old schoolboy Jimmy in South London.

But since coming outside he has released songs appearing to boast about killing - including lyrics about watching a victim “melt like Ben and Jerry’s”. And Fahri's music was even played out on BBC 1Xtra, with DJ Theo Johnson saying he “really stands out”.

Our revelations sparked uproar in Westminster, with Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy opening the door to a probe into the national broadcaster. She was challenged by Tory Shadow Culture Secretary Stuart Andrew, who raised the Sun’s investigation in the Commons.

He said: “The murder of Jimmy Mizen sadly sticks in the mind of many of us. "The Sun investigation reveals his killer's identity as the masked rapper Jake Farhi who has shockingly been promoted by the BBC. “Despite his lyrics sickeningly boasting about killing and other crimes, will the Secretary of State join me in calling for an investigation in how the BBC allowed this to happen as I can't imagine the pain and upset this is causing Jimmy's family.”.
