Connor Horan had been staying at a house on East Street in Warwick that belonged to his female babysitter, who was aged 38 at the time.
He was taken to Warwick Hospital on August 19 with head and internal injuries by his babysitter, who said Connor fell down a small set of stairs.
Connor died two days into the stay with the babysitter. He was meant to stay with her until the following Sunday.
Last month, detectives and forensic police searched two homes and a vehicle after an anonymous tip-off regarding the case, which the lead detective described at the time as "very significant".
It followed an emotional appeal from Connor's family for information to help give them answers and closure. Connor's mother, Emily Horan, described him as the "happiest child".
More to come.
