An investigation is now under way into the circumstances surrounding the boy’s death.

The arrested man and woman remain in police custody.

“We would ask that people do not speculate about the incident and the circumstances surrounding the death and leave the authorities to carry out their investigations,” a Leicestershire Police spokesperson said.

If you recorded any video footage at the park yesterday around the blue lagoon beach we’d like to speak to you.
