Urgent Update: Daniel Aruebose’s Remains Found, Outrage Grows

URGENT UPDATE: The remains of three-year-old Daniel Aruebose have been discovered in a shocking revelation that has sent ripples of outrage through the community. His remains, believed to be buried in marshy land approximately 4 km from The Gallery Apartment in Donabate, were uncovered last Wednesday after a nearly three-week search by An Garda Síochána.

This distressing development marks a tragic conclusion to the search for Daniel, who had been missing for nearly four years. Authorities confirmed that a post-mortem examination conducted on September 19, 2025, yielded an “inconclusive” cause of death, necessitating further tests, including DNA and toxicology screenings to determine the child’s identity and the circumstances surrounding his untimely death.

In a twist that has compounded the tragedy, Daniel’s mother, Maria Aruebose, recently admitted to investigators that she and Daniel’s father, Ciaran Dirrane, buried him in the marshy area along Portrane Road after he allegedly passed away in his sleep. Sources indicate that the parents initially claimed they did not know where his body was located, causing further distress and disbelief among investigators.

“A huge mistake was made,” a source revealed, confirming that Maria’s family has now reached out to offer support during this harrowing time.

Local officials are calling for answers. Corina Johnson, a local councillor, has demanded a public inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Daniel’s disappearance and the handling of the case by authorities. “The State has questions to answer. This can’t happen again. This is an absolutely horrific tragedy,” she stated.

As the investigation continues, An Garda Síochána is appealing to the public for any information related to Daniel’s case. “Gardai in Swords are continuing to investigate all of the circumstances of the disappearance of Daniel Aruebose,” an official statement confirmed. They encourage anyone with information to reach out to Swords Garda Station at 01-6664700 or through the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111.

With emotions running high and the community in mourning, the focus now shifts to uncovering the truth behind this heartbreaking case. As more details emerge, the urgency of this investigation cannot be overstated—justice for Daniel is paramount.
