Man released without charge into death of Daniel Aruebose

By Cillian Sherlock, Press Association

A man arrested by gardaí investigating the murder of Daniel Aruebose, a young boy who was missing for years in Dublin, has been released without charge.

The man, aged in his 20s, was arrested on Tuesday afternoon.

On Thursday morning, gardaí said he had been released, and a file was being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

A spokesperson said: “Investigations are ongoing.”

Daniel’s remains were recovered from Donabate, in North Dublin, last September, and a homicide investigation was launched in December.

He was reported missing after Irish authorities discovered in August that he had not been seen for several years.

Gardaí conducted a week-long search in the Donabate area before his remains were found in an area of open ground.

The child and family agency 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.

Daniel would have turned eight on December 12th.

A woman, aged in her 20s, was arrested in December in connection with the murder and also released without charge.

A file for the DPP was also being prepared following her release.
