The grandfather of a nine-year-old boy has been charged with his murder.

The child has been named as Alex James Robinson from Lincoln.

Officers had been called to an address in Pennell Street in the city on Tuesday and the boy was taken by ambulance to Lincoln County hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later.

Lincolnshire police said a postmortem had been carried out on Wednesday, leading to the investigation being treated as a murder inquiry.

A 64-year-old man, named as Stewart James Greene – who police said is the boy’s grandfather – was charged with murder on Wednesday night.

Greene, of Grimoldby, near Louth, is due to appear at Lincoln magistrates court on Boxing Day.
