A homicide investigation is under way after a six-month-old baby boy died from suspected stab wounds at a home in Perth's north.
Emergency services were called to Campion Ave in Balcatta about 3am on Sunday following reports a child had been seriously injured.
Despite the efforts of ambulance crews, the infant could not be saved.
A woman in her 30s was also found at the property and taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital under police guard.
She remains there in a stable condition.
Police established a large crime scene at the home, about 10km from the CBD, which remained cordoned off throughout Sunday as forensic officers combed the area for evidence.
Shocked neighbours told 9News they didn't hear any disturbance during the night and only realised something was wrong when police arrived with flashing lights.
'The investigation is in the preliminary stages and family members of the infant are assisting detectives with their inquiries,' a WA Police spokesperson said on Tuesday.
