DNA samples to be taken in renewed Kerry Baby inquiry

DNA samples have been requested from several locals in south Kerry as part of a renewed inquiry into the death of the ‘Kerry Baby’, also known as Baby John.

The renewed inquiry has turned up new information, say senior investigators.

The days-old baby was found with multiple stab wounds on the White Strand in Cahersiveen on April 14, 1984. Now DNA tests are being used to try to establish the parents of the infant who would have turned 34 this month.
