A man and a woman have been arrested after a three-month-old baby girl died after an ‘incident with a dog’ at a beauty spot in Lincolnshire. 

Officers went called to the scene in Ostler’s Plantation by East Midlands Ambulance Service at 11.13pm yesterday.

A 40-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog that was out of control, and remain in police custody.

Lincolnshire Police’s Chief Superintendent Andy Cox said: “This is an exceptionally sad incident, and one that we know will impact the local community, or indeed anyone hearing about it.

“There may be a temptation to speculate about what happened while people attempt to understand this tragedy, and we’d ask people to avoid doing so, particularly on social media where facts can become distorted.

“We will do everything we can to establish what has happened, and we’d like to thank everyone for their support.”
