Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 14:32 · Archive

A man and woman arrested after a three-month-old baby died in Cambridgeshire have had their bail extended until March 2027.

A man and woman from March, Cambridgeshire, have had their bail extended for a fourth time until March 22, 2027, in connection with the death of three-month-old Atijus Elertaite.

Atijus was rushed to hospital on January 3 after officers were called to an address on St John's Chase. He died in hospital on January 8, with a post-mortem examination giving a preliminary cause of death as a head injury. The pair, aged 25 and 22, were initially arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and also on suspicion of possessing class B and class C drugs. They were released on bail but re-arrested on suspicion of murder on January 22. In July, Cambridgeshire Constabulary took no further action against them for the grievous bodily harm offence.

An inquest held on March 12 at Vantage House in Huntingdon revealed that Atijus had been found not breathing by his parents. Paramedics managed to revive him after 90 minutes of resuscitation, but he was transferred to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, where tests revealed he had a bleed on the brain.
