A man jailed for manslaughter in a house explosion that killed a schoolboy could be released early under new sentencing rules, sparking outrage from the victim's family.

• Archie York was killed in a house explosion caused by Reece Galbraith, who was jailed for 14 years for manslaughter.
• Galbraith could be released early due to the Sentencing Act 2026, which allows early release for some prisoners to reduce overcrowding.
• Archie's mother, Katherine Errington, opposes the early release, arguing it is too lenient and calls for stricter sentencing laws.
