Family tribute after seriously injured baby dies in Newport


A family tribute to a one-year-old girl who died after being taken to hospital with serious injuries has been released by police.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said it was called at 11:34 BST on Friday to an address on Dairy Crest Drive in Newport, on the Isle of Wight.

One-year-old Jayla-Jean Mclaren died in hospital on Sunday afternoon, the force said.

A 31-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman, both from Newport, were earlier arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Both were released on conditional bail pending further inquiries until 1 November.

Her family’s tribute said: “Mummy, daddy, and nanny will always love you. Fly high princess.”

Det Supt Rod Kenny said: “First and foremost, our thoughts remain with all who knew and loved Jayla-Jean.

“We know emotions are understandably high in the local community following news of this devastating incident.

“I want to reassure the community that our investigation remains ongoing, and we are working tirelessly to establish the full facts surrounding Jayla-Jean’s death.

“While we understand the community concern, we urge people not to speculate on the circumstances as this will cause further distress to those who knew Jayla-Jean and could impede the ongoing police investigation.

“We will provide further updates as soon as we are able to.”
