Reece Galbraith, 33, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the manslaughter of seven-year-old Archie York and 35-year-old Jason Laws following a devastating explosion at a cannabis drugs lab in Newcastle. The incident occurred during the early hours of October 16, 2024, while families, including Archie's family, were asleep above the illegal operation.

Galbraith's actions were fueled by profit, ignoring the safety of those around him.
In an emotional statement, Archie's mother described her pain, lamenting the loss of her son who had dreams and was vibrant, stating Galbraith had stolen their peace.
Katherine Errington expressed her desire to be Archie's voice, hoping to raise awareness of cannabis shatter factories to prevent other families from experiencing similar tragedies.
