Kyran Durnin murder: Woman arrested over missing schoolboy is released without charge

A woman arrested on suspicion of murder by gardaí investigating the disappearance of eight-year-old schoolboy Kyran Durnin has been released without charge.

Gardaí launched a murder investigation in October after the case of the Co Louth child, who had potentially been missing for two years, became known to authorities.

Officers suspect the boy, who was reported missing in August, might have died in 2022 when he was six.

Gardaí said on Wednesday evening that the woman was released without charge and said they are still appealing for information.

“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.”
