A WOMAN IN her 40s is due to appear before court today charged in relation to the death of two-year-old Hassan Khan.
The toddler was found dead at an apartment in south Dublin on Thursday.
His body was removed from the scene and taken to Tallaght Hospital for a post-mortem examination. It is understood the child died from stab wounds.
The woman was arrested at the apartment on Thursday afternoon. She was held at Dun Laoghaire Garda Station for questioning.
She will now appear before Dublin District Court at 10.30am.
Child Rescue Alert
The young boy was the subject of a nationwide appeal this summer, after a Child Rescue Ireland (CRI) alert was issued for him.
He was found later that day, safe and well.
Such alerts are only ever initiated when there is a reasonable belief that there is an immediate and serious risk to the health and welfare of a child.
