“When he was returned to his father’s house at Ottoway at 4pm on the Wednesday he was unable to be roused and an ambulance was called.”
The boy’s father informed 9News he and his fiancée had barely slept since they misplaced their son, who was their solely little one.
Police will concentrate on what occurred within the household mates’ house within the hours earlier than Ronan was returned.
“We have been provided with an explanation as to how Ronan’s injuries were caused, we’re not satisfied as to the truthfulness of that information and that is certainly subject to our murder investigation now,” McEachern stated.
No one has been in arrested in relation to the demise.

“You feel sorry for the family and everyone involved,” Dylan Ashcroft stated.
A photograph of Ronan’s pram has been launched within the hope it would jog the reminiscence of anybody who noticed him being pushed round Glenelg North on Tuesday, June 6 or Wednesday, June 7.
