Gardaí suspect a missing child – now believed to have been murdered – may have died months before his disappearance was reported in August.
Kyran Durnin (8) from Drogheda, Co Louth, is missing presumed dead and a formal murder investigation has now begun.
The boy was reported missing in August along with his mother Dayla Durnin (24). She has since been located in the UK. To date there has been no trace of Kyran.
Crime and security editor Conor Gallagher explains why this is such an unusual case – a missing persons case is rarely upgraded to murder unless a body has been found; why the force is “all but certain” the child was killed; and how the inquiry will now proceed.
