POLICE have again re-bailed two former York nursery workers who were arrested as part of an investigation into the death of a three-year-old girl.

Lydia Bishop, of South Bank, died in September after being found on a slide in the playground at York College Day Nursery, with a rope around her neck. Desperate efforts to revive her were in vain.

Two members of staff were later arrested and interviewed as part of inquiries into the circumstances surrounding Lydia’s death.

The pair were re-bailed in December and North Yorkshire Police said yesterday that bail had now been renewed again to a later date.
