Explosive Tragedy in Newcastle

In Newcastle, UK, the reckless actions of Reece Galbraith led to a catastrophe last October, when an explosion caused by his illicit drug lab tragically killed seven-year-old Archie York and Jason Laws. The makeshift lab was used to produce cannabis concentrates, creating a deadly butane buildup. The explosion obliterated the street, left families homeless, and spurred a major police inquiry. Though Galbraith survived, his actions claimed young lives and wreaked havoc on a community. He received a 14-year sentence, but the scars on the victims' families will endure far longer.
