"The child's injuries are believed to be non-accidental and at this stage the death is being treated as suspicious. 

"A post-mortem is taking place this morning." 

The occupants at the address were currently self-isolating, Adkin said. 

A scene examination would be taking place at the address today and officers were speaking to those occupants as part of their inquiries.
