A WOMAN ARRESTED in connection with the disappearance and murder of Kyran Durnin has been released without charge.
The woman, who is aged in her 50s, was arrested on Monday.
A garda spokesperson said a file will now be prepared for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
On Monday morning, a search was carried out at the rear of a house in Drogheda, Co Louth.
Kyran was reported missing alongside his mother from a Co Louth home in August 2024. Though her whereabouts were later established, he was never found, and gardaí subsequently opened a murder investigation.
If he were still alive, he would be nine-years-old.
Nobody has been found and though two people, a man and a woman, have previously been arrested and later released in connection with the boy’s disappearance, no one has been charged with his murder to date.
Tusla had engagement with Kyran Durnin and his family during his life, but the agency has said that engagement ended in 2022, despite the fact that Durnin stopped attending school in the South after the summer of 2022.
