The man arrested in connection with the ongoing Baby John investigation was released without charge this morning, having been questioned on suspicion of murdering him by Gardai.
Gardai confirmed this morning that the male, aged in his 60s, was released from Listowel Garda Station approximately 12 hours after a woman, who was also arrested in relation to the probe, was allowed to walk free from Castleisland Garda Station in Co Kerry while a file is to be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Sources have confirmed to The Irish Mirror that Gardai are investigating whether DNA could establish who Baby John's mother is.
