In a statement this afternoon, Detective Inspector Peter McKenna said: “It is with great sadness that I can now confirm that a fourth body has been found within the crime scene and that it appears to be the body of a young child. 

“Post mortem examinations will take place in order to positively identify the victims involved in this appalling incident."
