Police investigating the disappearance of Irish schoolboy Kyran Durnin have begun searches at two houses after arresting a man on suspicion of murder.
The man is being detained at a Garda station in the east of the country. A murder investigation was launched in October after the disappearance of the Co Louth child, who was potentially missing for two years before authorities were alerted.
It is suspected that the boy, who was reported missing in August, might have died in 2022 when he was six.
Gardai said the purpose of fresh searches in Drogheda was to discover any evidence which may lead them to Kyran’s current whereabouts or inform what has happened to him.
On Monday, a woman was arrested and questioned by gardai before being released without charge 24 hours later.
