A man in his 20s has been arrested in connection with the murder of Daniel Aruebose.
Gardaí say that the man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently detained under provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a Garda Station in the Dublin Region.
Gardaí opened a homicide investigation into Daniel's death in December last year.
He was last seen around four years ago, although concern for his whereabouts was not raised until last summer.
Tusla had interacted with Daniel’s family, but closed its engagement with his parents after a temporary fostering arrangement ended.
His case prompted a series of “well-being checks” carried out on thousands of Tusla files, as well as a rapid review of the boy’s case.
Human remains recovered by gardaí on September 17th last year were confirmed by DNA analysis to be those of Daniel.
Investigations are ongoing.
