Cork gardaí treating body discovery as murder probe
Gardaí in Co Cork are treating the discovery of a body in the search for missing Robert Holohan as a murder inquiry, according to the superintendent in charge of the investigation.
Superintendent Liam Hayes said today that a post mortem had yet to confirm if the body was that of the missing 11-year-old or if the deceased had suffered a violent death.
However, based on available evidence, he said gardaí were treating the death as murder.
"You can take it at this stage that it is a murder investigation," he said. "Our opinion is that it is. We'll await the results of the post mortem, but logic would dictate that it is a murder investigation."
