flag Kirk Holdrick, a repeat offender, was sentenced to three more years for a 2023 armed break-in attempt at actress Anya Taylor-Joy’s London home.

flag Kirk Holdrick, 43, was sentenced to three additional years in prison for attempting to break into a London mansion where actress Anya Taylor-Joy and her husband, musician Malcolm McRae, were staying in February 2023. flag The armed intruder, along with an accomplice, targeted the couple’s bedroom, prompting McRae to barricade himself and Taylor-Joy inside and confront the suspects with a lamp, shouting he had a gun, which caused them to flee. flag Holdrick, a career criminal with a prior life sentence, was later arrested and admitted guilt, with prosecutors noting the attack was likely targeted due to the victims’ fame. flag Nine days later, he was involved in a separate armed home invasion in Sandbanks, impersonating police officers and threatening a woman and her daughter, leading to a 12-year sentence. flag Holdrick’s DNA and shoe prints were found at the scene, and Taylor-Joy described the experience as traumatic.
