Thames Valley Police has launched a murder investigation following the death of a one-month-old baby in Newbury.

Response Team officers were called to an address in Fountain Gardens, Ashridge Court by South Central Ambulance Service at about 1.50 am on Saturday 9th May following reports that a one-month-old baby boy was in cardiac arrest.

The baby was rushed to hospital on blue lights for treatment but, tragically, he later died. 

The baby boy has since been formally identified as Colby Stroud, who was born on 10th April this year.

Yesterday (13th May), a post-mortem was carried out, but the cause of death is currently unascertained

Today (14/5), a 26-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman, both from Newbury, have been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the investigation. 

They are currently in police custody.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Blaik, of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit, said: 

“This is a tragic and distressing incident and I understand that this news will cause a great deal of concern and upset in the community.

“I would like to reassure people that we are carrying out a full and thorough investigation. 

“We have arrested two people in connection with Colby’s death and they are currently in police custody.

“Members of the public may have seen a police presence in and around Ashridge Court since Saturday. I would encourage anyone with any questions or particular concerns to speak to our officers.

“Additionally, if anyone has any information which they think could be relevant to our investigation, I would urge them to call the Thames Valley Police non-emergency number on 101, quoting reference number 43200136471, or to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. You can also make a report online.”

But during these challenging times, we need the help of our readers and supporters to bring you the national stories which matter; stories which many sections of the mainstream media simply are just not interested in.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
