30 suspects, 1,000 queries, 100 gardaí: On a killer’s trail

GARDAÍ hunting the killer of schoolboy Robert Houlihan are concentrating their investigations on 30 people, several of whom are known sex offenders.

The post-mortem examination on Robert's body was carried out last night by State pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy.

Gardaí were unable to confirm if the schoolboy had sustained any sexual injuries or if DNA evidence had been recovered from the scene.
