Pathologists investigating the death of Daniel Aruebose are facing difficulties due to the discovery of only partial remains.

On Wednesday, Garda Headquarters confirmed that skeletal remains of a child were found at a site in north Dublin, near the area where they had been informed Daniel’s body was buried, reports Breaking News.

According to the Irish Examiner, while DNA testing is still pending, Garda HQ believes the remains are those of Daniel.

Daniel, who would now be seven years old, disappeared around 2021, when he was about three, reports Breaking News.

Gardaí had previously released a photograph of him at two and a half years old.

There have been differing and unclear versions of the events leading to Daniel’s death, with some suggesting it was accidental and followed by a panicked burial, while others point to a violent end, reports Breaking News.

While searches at the Donabate site are ongoing in hopes of uncovering more remains, the Garda investigation is expected to refocus on Daniel’s parents and others close to the case, in order to gather a clear and unified account of what occurred.

Daniel’s mother, originally from Africa and now an Irish citizen, resides in Dublin.

His father, who is Irish, has relocated to South America, where he lives with a new partner.

Gardaí are waiting to see if the father will return to Ireland now that his son’s remains have been discovered and in order to help arrange the funeral, reports Breaking News.

It is believed that gardaí are making efforts to assist and encourage his return to the country.

Concerns for Daniel’s wellbeing were first brought to gardaí by Tusla on August 29th, reports Breaking News.
