A man and a woman have been released under investigation after two baby twins under the age of one were taken to hospital in a life threatening condition.

Officers guarded a property on Granville Street in Boston in connect with the investigation. At the time police said a 27-year-old man was arrested in connection with the incident.

Lincolnshire Police has since confirmed that a 20-year-old woman was also arrested. Both have now been released under investigation. Police added that the condition of the babies remains unchanged.

Detective inspector Lee St Quinton previously said: “This is clearly a sensitive case for the family involved. We are working closely with the family at this difficult time to establish the facts of the matter.”
