Gardaí question woman on killing of three-year-old boy

Gardaí were last night expected to further extend the detention of a woman arrested in connection with the murder of a toddler at an apartment complex in south Dublin last Monday.

It is expected to be later today before senior officers make a decision to consult with the Director of Public Prosecutions in relation to whether or not to charge the woman.

The woman, aged in her 40s, was arrested yesterday morning on suspicion of killing three-year-old Omar Omran.
