The mother of black twins arrested for looting in Brixton has claimed that she thought her two sons had gone to the gym

Linette Livingstone said that she was horrified to discover that her 19-year-old sons Icha and Micha had both been arrested following the disturbances. The pair were some of the first people to be remanded in custody over the looting. They are accused of taking part in the raid of a Curry's store in Brixton. The judge said that he was remanding the defendants in custody because he ruled they may rejoin the rioting if they were released.
