DRUGS lab explosion killer Reece Galbraith’s partner has walked free from court for helping with his cannabis dealing operation.

- By ROB KENNEDY

Galbraith is serving a 14-year prison sentence for the manslaughter of seven-year-old Archie York and Jason Laws in Benwell, Newcastle.

He was using butane gas to produce cannabis sweets and this caused a huge explosion on October 16 last year.

In April last year, Galbraith had been stopped and searched and found to be in possession of cannabis. That prompted police to search the property in Newcastle, where he was living with his partner Shania Revell.

In a fridge, police found a bag containing cannabis sweets. The court heard the sweets were sold for £20 for a pack of ten.

During the raid, police seized 260 sweets and 316g of a “sweet substance”, the total value of which was £720.
