Pair questioned after infant dies

Two people have been arrested following the death of a four-month-old baby boy.

A 17-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man were arrested last Thursday on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm after staff at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London called police.

The boy died at around 3.30am on Saturday July 25.

The pair have been bailed to return to a central London police station in August pending further enquiries.

A post-mortem examination is still to take place and his next of kin have been informed.

He has not yet been formally identified.

Detectives from the Child Abuse Investigation Command are investigating.
