"Gardaí have this evening announced the DNA analysis on the remains has confirmed that they are those of Daniel, who would have been eight years old tomorrow. "Following enquiries conducted to date and based on information available to investigating gardaí, An Garda Síochána has commenced a homicide investigation into Daniel's death," a statement said. "Gardaí continue to keep Daniel's family informed of all developments in this ongoing criminal investigation. "Gardaí in Swords continue to investigate all of the circumstances surrounding the death of Daniel Aruebose."
"Tomorrow, December 12, would have been Daniel's 8th birthday. On 17th September Gardaí recovered the human remains of a child on open ground in Donabate. DNA analysis has since confirmed these remains to be those of Daniel. "An Garda Síochána is again appealing to the public for any information that may assist in the investigation into the homicide of Daniel Aruebose. Members of the public are urged not to assume that gardaí already possess information they may hold, or that any detail is too small or insignificant. "The investigation team will determine the relevance of any information provided. "All contact will be welcomed and treated in the strictest confidence.""
DNA analysis confirmed that human remains recovered on 17 September are those of Daniel Aruebose, who would have been eight on December 12. Gardaí believe Daniel died more than four years ago, before his fourth birthday, and that his death only became known after a routine social welfare check on a children's allowance claim. Investigators recovered remains on wasteland at Donabate after Daniel's parents identified the area during interviews. Initial post-mortem results were inconclusive. An Garda Síochána has commenced a homicide investigation, is keeping the family informed, and is appealing to the public for any confidential information that may assist the inquiry.
