A woman, aged 25, and a man, aged 31, were arrested on suspicion of murder as part of the inquiry.



They have been bailed to return to police later this month.



They are understood by Sky News to be the child' s mother and her boyfriend.



A spokesman for Haringey council could not confirm the child was on its At Risk Register.



He added: " We can confirm that an independent multi-agency serious case review has been commissioned by the local Safeguarding Children Board, as is routine in circumstances like this."
