PSNI treating death of baby boy as murder

Police in the North are treating the death of a baby boy last week as murder.

Police in the North are treating the death of a baby boy last week as murder.

The baby's mother was arrested last night for questioning about the death of the boy, whose body was found in Irvinestown, Co Fermanagh, last Thursday.

A new house in the Spruce Hill area of the town has been the focus of the police investigation. Few details of the baby have been released.

Police have so far declined to give the baby's exact age. Detectives want anyone who visited the area between Monday and Thursday of last week to contact them, so they can be eliminated from inquiries. They are also interested in talking to a driver of a dark blue car, possibly a Ford.
