A private funeral for the “much loved” Oisín Reddin, who it is believed was murdered by his father, Wayne O’Reilly, is to be held in the coming days.
Gardaí are investigating the theory that Wayne O’Reilly killed his son at his home in Clondalkin, Dublin, before he took his own life in the back garden of the home of his ex-partner in Ballyfermot.
Mr O’Reilly’s remains were discovered in the garden of the house in Ballyfermot on Thursday morning last, giving rise to immediate concern for the whereabouts and safety of his son.
Gardaí called to O’Reilly’s house in Clondalkin, forcing their way inside, where they found the child’s body.
