Fourteen children arrested on suspicion of manslaughter over Gateshead fire released on bail

Fourteen children aged 11 to 14 were arrested on Saturday in Gateshead on suspicion of manslaughter after 14-year-old Layton Carr died in a fire at Fairfield industrial park.
The arrests followed the discovery of Layton Carr’s body near the fire site on Friday, with police and fire services conducting searches and investigations.
All 14 children arrested—comprising 11 boys and three girls—were granted police bail as investigations continue, with a cordon still maintained around the scene.
Northumbria Police called the incident "extremely tragic," with Detective Chief Inspector Louise Jenkins stating their "thoughts are with Layton's family" as they investigate the full circumstances.
Layton Carr’s school community described him as a valued Year 9 pupil who will be greatly missed, and a GoFundMe was set up to support his mother with funeral costs.
