THREE teenagers from Worsley have been charged with manslaughter and arson after a man died in a huge factory fire.

Henry Earl, aged 34, died in the blaze at the Klyne and Klyne cash and carry in Manchester Road, Walkden, in February last year.

Three boys from Worsley, two aged 14 and a 15-year-old, have been charged with manslaughter and arson.

All three, who cannot be named, are due to appear at Salford Youth Court on Tuesday, May 8.

The fire broke out at the warehouse February 12, causing a substantial amount of damage to the building.

Demolition workers at the site discovered the remains of a man in the rubble more than a month later.

He was later identified as Mr Earl, who was believed to have been sleeping in the building at the time of the fire.
