Three men have been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences and manslaughter charges following an explosion in Newcastle last month that killed a boy and a man.
The blast ripped through six flats on Violet Close, in Benwell, in the early hours of Wednesday October 16. Archie York, just seven, died at the scene, while the body of Jason Laws, 35, was later discovered beneath debris.
Police have now confirmed three men – two in their 30s and one in his 50s – have been arrested.
