Garda\u00ed investigating the disappearance of a three-year-old child who went missing four years ago have discovered skeletal remains in north Co Dublin.<\/p>\n
The discovery was made during the garda search of wasteland on Portrane Road in Donabate.<\/p>\n
Detectives believe the remains are of missing child Daniel Aruebose, who is known to have resided at The Gallery apartments in Donabate. He would now be seven years of age.<\/p>\n
Following inquiries carried out and information available, garda\u00ed are satisfied that Daniel has died.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed are continuing to carry out house to house inquiries at The Gallery complex.<\/p>\n
The scene has been preserved pending the arrival of a State pathologist and a forensic anthropologist.<\/p>\n
The remains will be exhumed and the Garda Technical Bureau will conduct a forensic examination of the area where the body was found.<\/p>\n
A specialist forensic paediatric pathologist will also be engaged to conduct a post-mortem examination on the child\u2019s remains to try to establish the cause of death.<\/p>\n
DNA samples will also be taken to confirm the child\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n
The child has not been seen for over four years and was only discovered missing after the Department of Social Protection alerted Tusla to irregularities in an application for child support payments.<\/p>\n
Tusla contacted garda\u00ed who commenced an investigation and search of the lands at Donabate where they had been told the child was buried after he had died from natural causes.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed with specialist equipment and a cadaver dog have been searching the area for more than two weeks before the discovery was made this morning.<\/p>\n
Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly has said garda\u00ed were “not rushing” this investigation and that every resource necessary was available to the investigation team.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed are continuing to appeal to the public for more information, and to anyone who was a resident in The Gallery Apartments complex in Donabate between July 2019 to present date, to speak with the investigation team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Garda\u00ed investigating the disappearance of a three-year-old child who went missing four years ago have discovered skeletal remains…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27042,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-27041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27041\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
