The family of a two-year-old boy who tragically died while in the care of his babysitter have pleaded for information from the public.

‘He was always full of joy and kindness,’ she added.
Connor’s grandmother Deborah described the boy as ‘so beautiful and happy’.
‘He was loved by so many and we miss him so much. It’s destroyed our family not knowing what’s happened,’ she said, imploring anyone with information to come forward.
Detective Acting Inspector Matt Howard confirmed the circumstances surrounding the case were being treated as highly suspicious.
Anyone with information has been asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
