Gardaí are continuing to question a man and a woman who were arrested on suspicion of murder in the Kerry Babies case.

The pair - a man in his 60s and a woman in her 50s - were arrested in relation to the discovery of the body of a baby boy at White Strand, Caherciveen, Co Kerry, in April 1984. The baby, who later became known as 'Baby John', was found with multiple stab wounds.
