Three people have been arrested in connection with the murder of teenager Daniel McAnaspie in County Meath last month.
Gardaí this morning said they arrested three people including two females, one aged 17 years the other in her 40's, and one male aged 23.
All three are being detained at Blanchardstown and Finglas Garda Stations under section 30 of The Offences Against The State Act.
The decomposed body of Mr McAnaspie was found by a farmer on May 13 in a drain between two fields about 200 metres off the old Dublin to Derry road at Rathfeigh, Co Meath.
A subsequent postmortem revealed he had died as a result of multiple stab wounds.
Daniel, who was in the care of the Health Service Executive when he was killed prompting out cry in the Daíl and calls for a review of State's Care facilities.
He had been last seen on the street at Whitestown Avenue, Blanchardstown, west Dublin, on February 26.
Gardaí believe Daniel became involved in a row in Whitestown with men slightly older than him and was fatally stabbed in the throat and upper body.
