Gardaí continue investigations into Robert's death

Gardaí investigating the murder of Cork schoolboy Robert Holohan are believed to have obtained a set of unidentified fingerprints from the boy's BMX bike.

It has been reported that another set of fingerprints have also been found on black plastic sheeting used to try and hide the 11-year-old's body.

Detectives are said to be preparing to make an arrest in the coming days.

Thousands turned out to pay their last respects to Robert at his funeral mass in Midleton yesterday, including representatives of the President and Taoiseach as well as local politicians, sportsmen and classmates.

Gardaí have issued an appeal for anyone who may have seen a white pick-up truck in the area where the young boy disappeared last Tuesday.
