       Tragically, the baby couldn't be saved and was declared dead at the scene.

       A 17-year-old girl and woman, 45, have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in custody.

       A police cordon is now in place and the public are being asked to keep away.

       Temporary Superintendent Jamie Henderson said: “This is an extremely tragic case and I know the local community, and those further afield, will be very upset to hear about what has happened.

       “At this time, our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the baby’s death is in the very early stages and we ask the public not to speculate about the case."

       He said a cordon remains in place in Norman Crescent, Rossington.

       Anyone with information has been asked to call police on 101, quoting incident number 325 of 16 December.
