Police have launched a murder investigation following a postmortem examination of a baby boy who died in Keady earlier ths week.

A 31-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday November 26 after the death of 11-month-old Hunter McGleenon. Police have twice been granted more time to question him.

PSNI Detective Chief Inspector Eamonn Corrigan confirmed that the death was being treated as murder.

He appealed for information on a white BMW car.

“As part of my investigation, I am interested in the movements of a white BMW 5 Series, registration 11D14035, around the Keady area during the early hours of Tuesday 26 November.

"Were you in the area and do you believe you saw this vehicle, or did you capture it on your dash cam?"

DCI Corrigan said his thoughts were with Hunter’s family and loved ones "who are coming to terms with their devastating loss".

"This is something no parent should ever have to experience. His family should be looking forward to Hunter’s second Christmas.”  

He added: "I would appeal to anyone who has any information to contact detectives on 101 quoting reference 587 of the 26/11/19. Alternatively information can be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
