Man questioned in connection with toddler death

Police continue to question a man today about the death of a 15-month-old girl injured in an alleged assault at a house in the North.

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

Police arrested a 30-year-old man as part of the investigation.

Detectives from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s (PSNI) 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.

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.”

Glebe Park is a residential area of the lakeside town on the road to Tempo. Forensics staff have been combing the area for clues.
