Blake Fowler 2011 death: Three family members bailed

The coroner recorded an open verdict at the inquest into Blake's death

Three family members arrested in connection with the death of a seven-year-old boy in Southampton, have been released on bail.

Blake Fowler died from a severe head injury suffered in December 2011.

His mother, step-father and step-uncle were arrested in the city on Tuesday, following a reinvestigation of the circumstances leading to his death.

Police in Southampton previously apologised for the "unsatisfactory" inquiry into Blake's death.

Sarah Spacagna, 28, Blake's step-father, Peter Meek and his brother Philip Meek, have now been bailed until 27 May.

Assistant Chief Constable Laura Nicholson said: "I accept that the initial investigation by the constabulary was unsatisfactory, and for that I apologise.

"We have a full team from the Hampshire Major Investigation Team dedicated to this."

At the inquest into Blake's death the coroner recorded an open verdict.
