The 32-year-old man and 30-year-old woman arrested in the murder probe of an 11-year-old boy in Lincoln have both been released on police bail, without any charges.

The man was arrested on suspicion of murder and the woman on suspicion of manslaughter after an incident at a house on Geneva Street on St Giles in Lincoln.

Lincolnshire Police said in a statement on Monday night:

“Once again, we’d like to remind people that this is an active investigation and that an 11-year-old boy has sadly lost his life.
