Seven suspects were initially arrested, and two have been bailed as detectives continue a murder probe into the newborn girl’s death.

  • South Yorkshire Police obtained a warrant to extend detention for five people arrested on suspicion of murder, allowing detectives to continue questioning them regarding a newborn baby girl's death in Sheffield.
  • Officers originally arrested seven people Sunday morning at a Holywell Heights property in Wincobank following reports of concern for the baby's safety; two individuals aged 26 and 37 have since been bailed.
