Gardaí search for clues left by Kyran Durnin suspect

Gardaí investigating the suspected murder of eight-year-old Kyran Durnin are working to determine if one of the main suspects left behind any vital information on the disappearance before his death this week.

On Tuesday, gardaí and emergency services found the body of Anthony Maguire (36) in his Drogheda home, six days after he was arrested in connection with Kyran’s disappearance.

Gardaí are not seeking anyone else in relation to Mr Maguire’s death and have described the incident as a “personal tragedy”.
