British police have said 14 children aged between 11 and 14 were arrested in a northeastern English town after a teenage boy died in a fire at an industrial park.<\/p>\n
Eleven boys and three girls were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, Northumbria police said late on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The victim was confirmed as 14-year-old Layton Carr whose body was found inside the building in Gateshead, near Newcastle, after he was reported missing on Friday.<\/p>\n
“Sadly, following searches… a body believed to be that of 14-year-old Layton Carr was located deceased inside the building,” a police spokesman said.<\/p>\n
Police were alerted about the fire on Friday night, and said inquiries were still at an early stage.<\/p>\n
“This is an extremely tragic incident where a boy has sadly lost his life,” said Detective Chief Inspector Louise Jenkins.<\/p>\n
Nearby residents told the BBC on Sunday that teens and children often trespassed on the industrial site.<\/p>\n
