Gardaí investigating the killing of Daniel McAnaspie (17), whose body was recovered from a drain in Co Meath in May, have today arrested two men.
The men, both of whom are in their 20s, were arrested in prison and taken to Blanchardstown and Finglas Garda stations for questioning.
There have now been 10 arrests in the investigation into the murder of Daniel, whose decomposed body was found by a farmer in Co Meath on May 13th.
It was discovered in a drain between two fields about 200 metres off the old Dublin to Derry road at Rathfeigh.
A postmortem revealed he had been stabbed to death.
Daniel, who was in the care of the Health Service Executive when he was killed, was last seen on the street at Whitestown Avenue, Blanchardstown, west Dublin, on February 26th.
He was living in HSE care in a house in Donabate, north Dublin, and had gone to Finglas to meet people he knew on the afternoon of February 25th.
Investigating officers believe members of the group with whom the youth remained on with were drinking on the road at Whitestown Avenue and in a number of houses into the early hours of February 26th.
Gardaí believe Daniel became involved in a row in Whitestown with men slightly older than him and was fatally stabbed in the throat and upper body.
One of six siblings, whose father died in 1996 and whose mother died in 2007, Daniel could not read or write and had been in the care of the HSE since 2003.
