Gardaí renew appeal as McAnaspie’s remains are confirmed

GARDAÍ have confirmed that decomposed remains found in a field were those of missing teenager Daniel McAnaspie.

The remains were found last Thursday dumped in a drain on farmland in Co Meath. On Saturday evening gardaí said they had positively identified them as the body of the 17-year-old Dubliner and that he had died of multiple stab wounds.

The body’s identity was confirmed after DNA tests were carried out.
