Cops fear the boy, who would be now aged seven, was killed and then secretly buried

COPS are today searching an area of open land as part of a probe into a missing child who they now presume is dead.
Gardai have sealed off the search scene on the outskirts of Donabate, north Co Dublin, cloaking the site in black sheeting.
Detectives and members of the garda technical bureau are at the scene, with lighting and generators brought in.
A search is underway for the child in Donabate, in the strikingly similar but entirely unrelated case to Kyran Durnin in Drogheda, Co Louth.
Tragic Kyran is presumed murdered and was last seen alive in June 2022 when he was six.
The three-year-old boy at the centre of today’s search hasn’t been seen in public for four years – and would be around seven or eight if still alive today.
