A homicide investigation has been opened into the death of toddler Daniel Aruebose, whose remains were found on open ground in Donabate, north Dublin, last September.
Tomorrow would have been the boy’s eighth birthday. He was last seen around four years ago, although concern for his whereabouts was not raised until last summer.
An Garda Síochána said in a statement: “Following enquiries conducted to date and based on information available to investigating gardaí, An Garda Síochána has commenced a homicide investigation into Daniel’s death.
“Gardaí continue to keep Daniel’s family informed of all developments in this ongoing criminal investigation.”

“Members of the public are urged not to assume that Gardaí already possess information they may hold, or that any detail is too small or insignificant. The investigation team will determine the relevance of any information provided.”
“All contact will be welcomed and treated in the strictest confidence.”
