The PSNI has begun a murder inquiry after a 15-month-old toddler injured in an alleged assault at a
house in Northern Ireland died today.

The girl was under intensive care at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast after being hurt in Co Fermanagh.

Police arrested a man (30) as part of the investigation.

Detectives from the PSNI's serious crime unit are involved and searched a house at Glebe Park in the Chanterhill area of Enniskillen.

The child was first admitted to the Erne Hospital in Enniskillen last night and then transferred to Belfast.

Western Health Trust staff are assisting police, a spokesman said.

Local SDLP Assembly member Tommy Gallagher said: "My thoughts go out to the family. There is a great sense of shock and anger about this. The whole thing is playing out very badly." Glebe Park is a residential area of the
lakeside town on the road to Tempo.
