Gardaí investigate death of four-month-old baby

GARDAÍ have launched an investigation into the death of a four-month-old baby after a preliminary examination found he had extensive internal injuries.

Ross Murphy was admitted to Wexford General Hospital last weekend. He was later transferred to Our Lady’s Hospital in Crumlin where he died on Tuesday morning.

It is believed the baby, who lived with his mother and her partner in Gorey, Co Wexford, had little visible bruising to his body. But a preliminary examination found he had suffered serious and unexplained internal injuries.
