Two people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a toddler died in south west London.

Emergency services were called to reports of a child in cardiac arrest at an address in Putney shortly after 6am on August 27.

The fifteen-month-old was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead at 7.22am.

The family are aware, a police spokeswoman said.

The Metropolitan Police have detained a 29-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman who both lived at the address.

The pair have both been bailed - the man to early September, and the woman to late September - the force said.
