Kerry Babies: Pair released in 1984 baby death investigation
A woman and man arrested over the death of a baby boy whose remains were found on a beach in County Kerry 39 years ago have been released without charge.
The infant, who suffered multiple stab wounds, was found by a jogger at White Strand, Cahersiveen, on 14 April 1984.
Although he was never formally identified, the child was given the name “Baby John”.
The woman, in her 50s, was released on Friday and the man, in his 60s, was released on Saturday morning.
Baby John was at the heart of an infamous case known as the Kerry Babies scandal.
An extensive Garda (Irish police) investigation has been ongoing since 2018 and hundreds of people have been interviewed.
A file will now be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
