Suspicious Baby Death: Relatives Pay Tribute

The family of a baby who died in suspicious circumstances has paid tribute to their "beautiful and vibrant little girl".

Chloe Sutherland, aged 10 months, died after being admitted to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh on Tuesday night.

A woman, thought to be the child's mother, has been arrested in connection with the death.

In a statement released through Police Scotland, Chloe's family said: "Chloe was a beautiful and vibrant little girl who had everything to live for and who sadly passed away peacefully with her daddy and family at her side.

"Chloe was much loved by her brother and sister and her family and friends and will be sadly missed by all of us.

"We would ask that our privacy be respected at what is a very difficult time."

Police were called to a house in Parkhead View in Edinburgh's Longstone area on Tuesday afternoon, after concern was raised about a child's welfare.

A 35-year-old woman is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday.
