‘Neighbour from hell’ caused gas blast that killed two-year-old boy in Heysham by cutting gas pipe to sell for scrap metal
Darren Greenham, 45, used an angle grinder to cut the pipe in the early hours of May 16, 2021
The explosion destroyed the property Greenham lived in and severely damaged two neighbouring terraced housesTimothy Cray KC, prosecuting, said that at the time of the explosion the council was considering taking eviction proceedings after a number of complaints about Greenham’s behaviour.He said: “He had been removing every bit of pipework he could for weeks before, seemingly because he knew he was going and he wanted to make what he could from selling it as scrap.
A report from the Health and Safety Executive after the explosion found wooden floorboards had been removed and gas pipes had been cut deliberately.
