Irish Police Launch Murder Investigation in Kyran Durnin Case

The disappearance of eight-year-old Kyran Durnin, presumed dead, is described as unprecedented by Garda Commissioner.

Kyran Durnin was reported missing in August, but police now suspect he may have died in 2022 at the age of six.
Gardaí have begun a thorough search of the Durnin family's former home and surrounding areas in Dundalk, County Louth.
Kyran's mother, initially reported missing with him, has been located and is no longer considered a missing person.
The Child and Family Agency, Tusla, had raised concerns about Kyran in August, prompting the police investigation.
Justice Minister Helen McEntee emphasized the need for accountability and potential reforms in state agencies following the case.
