Beautiful boy, 2, killed in gas blast caused by 'neighbour from hell' kisses camera in heart-breaking video

A heartbreaking video of a beautiful two-year-old boy killed in a gas blast caused by a 'neighbour from hell' has been shared on social media.

Little George Hinds was tragically killed when Darren Greenham, 45, used an angle grinder to cut a gas pipe which he intended to sell for scrap metal in the early hours of May 16 last year. The action caused a huge explosion, directly killing George , whose family lived in the neighbouring property.

Police have shared the video, which shows George blowing a kiss and saying "I love you," on Twitter today (October 5) as Greenham was sentenced to 15 years custody for his crime. They state: This is George Arthur Hinds. George was only two years and 10 months old when he tragically died in a gas explosion at his family home in Heysham, in May 2021.
