Gardaí searching an outdoor area close to Rathmullan Park for the past two days as part of their investigation into the murder of a male juvenile in Drogheda in January 2020 have today discovered partial skeletal remains.
The remains were found this afternoon, Thursday 11th March 2021.
Members of the Garda Technical Bureau are at the scene as part of the ongoing operation.
The search area, the Banks area between Hillview and Rathmullan, remains sealed off and the searches are ongoing.
An Garda Síochána is making no further comment at this time except to say that the remains are still not confirmed as human at this time.
These searches are expected to run for a number of days.
