Two people have been arrested after a two-year-old girl died in Salford yesterday, it has emerged.

Ambulance services were called to Liverpool Road on Tuesday night following reports a child had been found injured.

The girl was taken to Hope hospital suffering from serious head injuries and later transferred to Pendlebury children's hospital in Swinton where she was pronounced dead yesterday.

She was identified as Demi Lee Mahon and police claim that she is thought to have been taken to a park on Nelson Street in Eccles.

The two suspects, understood to be the 53-year-old father and 15-year-old brother of the child, were taken into custody on Tuesday.

Greater Manchester Police are appealing for anyone with any information relating to the incident or who was in the park between 14:30 and 16:30 on Tuesday to come forward.

A post-mortem is due to take place today.
