Northumbria police on Sunday released 14 children—11 boys and 3 girls—on bail after being arrested on suspicion of manslaughter of a teenager in a fire at a disused industrial building in Gateshead, a town near Newcastle in north-east England.
The body found inside the building is believed to be that of Layton Carr, a 14-year-old boy who had been reported missing on Friday.
Residents in the area told the BBC that children and teenagers frequently enter the industrial site, which they say has long been left unsecured.
A GoFundMe page has been launched to support Layton’s mother, Georgia, with funeral expenses. Organiser Stephanie Simpson wrote, “The last thing Georgia needs is the added stress of trying to cover funeral costs for her boy. Any donation, big or small, will help. Thank you."
