Kyran Durnin (8) from Drogheda has been missing since August 30th

Gardaí suspect boy (8) may have been killed months before he was reported missing

Murder investigation opened after gardaí fail to find any indication that Kyran Durnin from Drogheda is still alive

www.irishtimes.com

'Sources described the investigation as complex with “many strands”. Some individuals known to the child have been co-operating with the investigation while others have been less forthcoming.'

'The upgrading of the case to a murder inquiry, which is very rare in missing person’s cases, will see significantly more Garda resources assigned to the inquiry. Gardaí believe there is a significant prospect of a breakthrough in the case as a result of extra resources being assigned to it.'

Just to highlight something important from the Irish Times article.
Ms Durnin was later located safe in the UK but there was no sign of Kyran.

It's being reported that Kyran Durnin could have been missing for two years before he was reported missing. The grandmother claims he was asleep on the sofa the night before Dayla and Kyran went missing.

So the grandma last saw Kyran the night before they disappeared, yet the police are saying the child could have been dead for over a year. That makes no sense at all unless she is lying?
