Gardaí investigating the killing of the Co Cork schoolboy, Robert Holohan, have renewed their appeal for information on a vehicle seen in the vicinity on the day he went missing.
The vehicle, a white pick-up truck was spotted near Ballyedmond at 2.30pm last Tuesday week.
Investigating officers remain hopeful of making an arrest in the case but would not confirm reports that an arrest was imminent.
Hundreds of fingerprints have been taken locally and may play an important part in the investigation.
The 11-year-old's body was found near Inch Strand in Co Cork on Wednesday. A post mortem examination established that he had died from asphyxiation.
Robert was laid to rest in Midleton yesterday afternoon following one of the biggest funerals ever held in the east Cork town.
Over 100 gardaí have been working in shifts of 12 hours or more trying to find out who killed the schoolboy.
Gardaí say fingerprinting people is routine in such murder cases and that while they are following a number of lines of inquiry, they are not following any one specific line.
