Police are now treating the death of a six-month-old baby girl from Ngaruawahia as murder.

Serenity Jay Scott-Dinnington died at Auckland's Starship Hospital after being transferred from Waikato from what police are describing as "non-accidental injuries".

Her life-support was switched off yesterday afternoon and a post-mortem will be carried out today.

Police are now conducting a scene examination at the little girl's house - an investigation that's likely to continue over the coming days.
