The six-year-old was reported missing in August, but authorities believe he may have died in 2022; investigations are ongoing with new searches underway.

  • Irish police have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering six-year-old Kyran Durnin, who was reported missing in August 2024 from Drogheda, County Louth.
