Man admits manslaughter over Benwell explosion deaths

A man has admitted the manslaughter of two people in a house explosion.

Archie York, seven, and Jason Laws, 35, died in the blast in Violet Close, Benwell, Newcastle, on 16 October last year.

Reece Galbraith, 33, admitted two counts of manslaughter and the production and supply of cannabis at Newcastle Crown Court.

Galbraith, of Rectory Road, Gateshead, had denied manslaughter and was due to go on trial next month, but changed his pleas to guilty on Thursday.
