A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Kyran Durnin.
Investigating Gardai have also commenced searches at two houses in Drogheda.
The searches are being carried out by cops who hope that it will help them find evidence that might “provide us with information” as to Kyran’s whereabouts or what may have happened to the schoolboy.
Kyran, who would now be eight-years-old, is presumed dead after he was reported missing in August of this year.
Gardai have since established that he was last seen alive at a primary school in Dundalk in May 2022 but there have been no confirmed sightings of him since then and cops have been unable to find any proof of life.
The arrested man is being detained under Section Four of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a Garda Station in the east of the country.
In a statement this morning, a Gardai said: “An Garda Siochana continues to appeal to any person with any information, on the disappearance and murder of Kyran Durnin, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to contact the Garda Investigation Team at Drogheda Garda Station on 041 987 4200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or speak with any member of An Garda Siochana.”
They added: “A Garda spokesperson is not available.”
The arrest today marks another major move in the case after Gardai arrested a woman on Wednesday and released her without charge yesterday.
The 24-year-old woman, who knew Kyran, was let go after being quizzed by specialist detectives.
