Woman will not face trial after fatal Heysham gas explosion

A woman will not face a trial for manslaughter following a gas explosion in Heysham last year in which a toddler died.

Last year, Sharon Greenham, 52, of Ambleside Avenue, Lancaster, was charged with manslaughter, theft from a meter/automatic machine and criminal damage, following the explosion at an address on Mallowdale Avenue in 2021, which killed toddler George Arthur Hinds.

No evidence will now be offered against her in respect of the manslaughter and criminal damage counts, but she will still face a trial in relation to a theft of gas charge at a later date.

In August, Darren Greenham pleaded guilty to manslaughter, theft and criminal damage offences in relation to the incident.

The 45-year-old, also of Ambleside Avenue, is due to be sentenced later this week at Preston Crown Court.
