“....a 23-year-old man who cannot be named for legal reasons....”

What the heck is that about? He’s not a minor, why wouldn’t they print his name? Who is he?

Could be a Police Informant.

The UK has more than a few very odd laws.

One is not allowed to name those accused of crimes, nor are they allowed to name those convicted of crimes, unless the government agrees.
It is a crime to report the names of those who are accused of committing crimes there, unless the government decides one can name them.
There does not seem to be a reason why for either way, except that their government decrees who may be lawfully reported as an accused, and who may be reported as an adjudicated criminal.

Probably because he’s also been charged with another offence for which he’s yet to stand trial.
