A MAN and a woman have been arrested by gardaí investigating the death of a 10-day-old infant from Co Meath.

The baby boy, named locally as John McCarthy from Navan, died a week ago today just hours after being brought to hospital with extremely serious injuries.

Sources confirmed he had sustained head injuries and a fractured arm. The injuries are understood to be similar to those that might be suffered in a fall from a height.
