A one-year-old baby has died and a man arrested on suspicion of murder following an incident in Speke .
Merseyside Police were called by paramedics from the North West Ambulance Service at 6pm on Friday after the baby was taken to hospital from an address in Belsford Way.
The baby had suffered a head injury - but now a spokesman for Merseyside Police has confirmed the child has sadly died and his family are being supported by specialist officers.
Detectives have now arrested a 23-year-old man from Winsford in Cheshire on suspicion of murder and taken him to a police station for questioning.
A Home Office Post Mortem to conclude the cause of death is taking place today.
Yesterday neighbours told the ECHO a woman in her 20s lived at the address with her child.
Speaking about the woman who lived at the house, one neighbour said: "She’s a lovely girl, always smiling. I’ve seen her taking the little boy to nursery.
"Police scientific services were here last night. It’s worrying not knowing what’s gone on."
