A woman has been taken into custody for killing an 8-year-old boy who disappeared two years ago.

In August of 2024, tragedy struck the small town of Dundalk in Ireland when eight-year-old Kyran Durnin was reported missing from his home. His mother, Dayla, 24, was also reported missing at the same time. However, she was later found alive in Great Britain, without her son by her side.

Despite being told that Kyran had been seen just two days before the report, authorities revealed in October that they believe he may have been killed two years ago. This shocking news sent shockwaves through the community as they grappled with the thought of a missing child who may have been gone for so long.

Recently, a woman in her 20s, who was known to Kyran, was arrested on suspicion of his murder. She had voluntarily returned to Ireland and was taken into custody. However, Kyran's body has yet to be found, leaving many unanswered questions for the devastated family and community.

Kyran was last seen in May of 2022, when he was a student at a local primary school. He had lived in Dundalk for several years and was described as a happy and outgoing child. In October, police searched his former family home as part of the murder investigation. However, the current tenants are not connected to Kyran or his disappearance.

Authorities used a mechanical digger to search the area around Kyran's former home, hoping to find any evidence that could lead to his whereabouts or fate. This search was prompted after a missing person report was filed in August, along with a photo of Kyran when he was six years old and a description of his clothing.

In a statement released today, An Garda Síochána, the Irish police force, announced that a woman has been arrested on suspicion of Kyran's murder. She is currently being held under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act at a Garda Station in the East of the Country. The police have also appealed to anyone with information about Kyran's disappearance and murder to come forward, no matter how insignificant it may seem.

The community of Dundalk is still reeling from this tragic event and continues to hold out hope for answers and closure. The search for Kyran and the investigation into his murder are ongoing, and the police are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in bringing justice for this innocent young boy.
