In what was thought to be a serious development in the case of missing schoolboy, Kyran Durnin, a man was arrested on suspicion of murder this morning in Drogheda, Co Louth.
The man has now been released without charge.
Gardaà also carried out searches at two properties in Drogheda.
Both searches have concluded. Gardai say they will not be releasing any information at this time in relation to the searches.
Gardaà say the searches in Drogheda were to try and discover any evidence which might provide them with information as to Kyran’s current whereabouts or what has happened to him.
Gardai believe that 8-yr-old Kyran, who was only reported missing in August of this year, may have been killed up to two years ago.
A woman in her 20s was arrested on Tuesday but was released yesterday without charge.
It’s understood she was well known to Kyran and has been a person of interest in the case for quite some time. Gardai had informally interviewed her before.
