The mum of a two-year-old boy killed in a gas explosion caused by her "neighbour from hell" has said she has had "everything she ever wanted" taken away from her.
George Hinds died when Darren Greenham cut into a gas pipe, planning to sell it for scrap metal. This sent dangerous quantities of gas flowing into the home where he lived in Heysham, Lancashire.
Experts said there would have been an obvious sound and smell of gas, the volume of which was so great only a light switch would have been needed to ignite it, Lancs Live reports. The explosion destroyed two homes, including that of little George and his parents, Vicky Studholme and Stephen Hinds.
