A man has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of a “beautiful” two-year-old boy who died in a huge gas explosion which injured four others and flattened two homes.
George Hinds was killed as a fireball tore through his family’s semi-detached home in Heysham in the early hours of 16 May last year, with neighbours likening the “utter devastation” left behind to a “warzone”.
