- Leiland Corkill rushed to Furness General Hospital with head injury last month
- He was later taken to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, in Liverpool, where he died
- Two people, from Barrow, were arrested on suspicion of murder following death
A couple have been arrested in connection with the murder of a baby boy they were trying to adopt.
One-year-old Leiland Corkill was taken into care soon after his birth in December 2019.
He later lived with prospective adoptive parents in Barrow-in-Furness, but on January 6 paramedics were called to a property amid reports a baby had suffered a serious head injury.
Leiland was taken to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool but died the following day.
A 34-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of murder, assault, ill-treatment and neglect, police said on Saturday.
The couple have been released on bail while a police investigation is ongoing.
At the time of Leiland’s death he was under the care of Cumbria County Council – which was previously criticised over the death of 13-month-old Poppi Worthington in December 2012.
An inquest found Poppi was sexually abused by her father Paul Worthington but blunders by social services and police meant he was never charged in connection with her death.

Pictures show ‘happy and cheerful’ Leiland Corkill with his birth mother, Laura, before his tragic death last month
It is understood Leiland’s birth mother, Laura Corkill, 37, visited her son regularly while the adoption process was ongoing.
His natural grandmother, Yvonne Corkill, 57, said both she and her daughter were at his side when he died.
He has been buried in their home town of Whitehaven, Cumbria. Mrs Corkill told The Sun on Sunday: ‘It’s horrible. He was a happy, cheerful little boy and we can’t believe what’s happened.
‘I was there when he was born and I was there at the end. I can’t believe the two were just a year apart. It’s too much to bear.’
