The fire occurred near Fairfield Industrial Park, a known hangout for local teens. Layton’s family and school have paid tribute to him, describing him as a kind, caring, and loving boy. His family expressed deep grief, thanking those who helped in the search for him.

A GoFundMe campaign has raised over £18,000 to support Layton’s grieving mother. The police are continuing their investigation and have urged the public to avoid sharing misleading content online, reminding everyone that suspects under 18 cannot be named publicly.
Layton’s memory will live on, and he will be deeply missed.
