Two Arrested Over Baby’s Death
Police have arrested a 24-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman on suspicion of causing or allowing the death of a child, and neglect. Their identities remain under wraps. The pair have been granted bail until April as detectives carry out a thorough investigation into the tragic death.
Neighbours in Shock and Mourning
Neighbours revealed their disbelief and sorrow over the chilling incident that happened right on their doorstep. Local resident Luke Childs, 30, said, “I don’t really know what to say. That is something that happened in this block, and to think it happened so close to us is quite unbelievable.”
Another neighbour, who asked to remain anonymous, admitted feeling sick after hearing the devastating news and said the whole community is deeply shaken by the loss.

The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance rushed to the scene at 8:18 AM on Saturday.

The air ambulance crew accompanied the baby all the way, continuing their efforts to save his life.
As the investigation presses on, Southampton mourns the tragic loss of a tiny, innocent life lost just days after Christmas.
