Under Arnolds Field, tonnes of illegally dumped waste have been burning for years, spewing pollution over the area. Locals fear for their health – and despair that no one seems willing to help

One afternoon in July 2011, an 11-year-old boy named William Knowlden was out cycling with friends when he came upon Arnolds Field, an expanse of green land in Havering, east London. The site spans about 17 hectares, or 24 football pitches, and around its perimeter runs a wooden fence, with two access points through which vehicles can pass. Arnolds Field rises much higher than the surrounding land. Its surface is lumpy and undulating, like a blanket thrown over a heap of cuddly toys. The land is overgrown. It has been decades since animals grazed there, and few people have set foot on it in recent years. But every so often, it is mistaken for a safe place to explore.

As Knowlden descended a hill, he lost control and was thrown over the handlebars. When he came to, he was lying in a small crater and his feet were covered in a powdery residue that resembled ash. He felt a sharp pain in his left foot. When Knowlden’s friends arrived, they removed his shoes and peeled back his socks. One foot was pink and swollen, the skin blistered and shiny; the other was blackened and charred. Patches of skin hung off, revealing layers of fatty tissue. “It looked like it had been eaten by maggots,” Knowlden recalled. “Like pure, pure flesh.” In hospital, doctors informed Knowlden that he’d suffered third-degree burns in his right foot. They were baffled. With thermal burns, there should be an identifiable source of heat, like an open flame, but Knowlden and his friends hadn’t seen anything like that.

Trial of three ‘minions’ in spy ring for Russia heard of chaotic errors, tangled relationships, a cancer lie and a red button

• Three UK-based Bulgarians found guilty of spying for Russia
• The spymaster, the ringleader and the ‘minions’: who’s who of the spy ring trial

It began with a simple request, though it was written by one of the world’s most wanted men. “We’d be interested in a Bulgarian guy working for Bellingcat: Christo Grozev,” the author wrote at 7.46pm on 14 December 2020. Another message followed on Telegram: “Can we look into this guy or would it raise too many questions?” And so a spy ring of Bulgarians based in Britain but working for Russia began to form.

The author was Jan Marsalek, a fugitive businessman accused of involvement in a €1.9bn fraud on the German payments company Wirecard – and an agent for Russia. Earlier that year he had fled to Moscow, and now he had time on his hands. The message’s recipient was Orlin Roussev, 47, an IT specialist and private investigator who had been based in the UK for several years – and somebody Marsalek appeared to know well.
