A three-year-old boy has died after he was hit by a car in County Down.
Kai Corkum from the Ards area was struck on the Movilla Road in Newtownards around 5.20 on Thursday evening.
A 21-year-old man was arrested and later released.
Police have issued a renewed appeal for witnesses.
Inspector O’Connor said: "Kai was taken to hospital following the collision but sadly died from his injuries yesterday afternoon (Friday 14 December).
"The collision involved a silver-coloured Volkswagen Golf and occurred around 5.20pm.
"I would ask anyone who was in the Movilla road area of the town around that time on Thursday afternoon and witnessed the collision to get in touch with police as soon as possible, as you may have information vital to our investigation.
"If you were driving in the area you may also have dashcam footage - and if you do, again I would urge you to contact us on 101 quoting reference number 1000 of 13/12/18."
