An eight-year-old girl is still fighting for her life in Crumlin's Children's Hospital in Dublin, after suffering 75 stab wounds in Co Clare.
The Ukrainian refugee was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, following the stabbing at a residence in Clarecastle on Tuesday morning.
Her mother also remains critically ill in hospital after being found unconscious at the premises they were staying in.
Michael O'Toole, crime correspondent with the Irish Daily Star, says Gardaí are not looking for anyone else in relation to the case.
"I understand he Gardai and medics are waiting toxicology tests, which may give some sort of indiciation,
"We do know that Gardai are not looking for anybody else, and they do believe that the answer to what happened here does lie in the in the house, so there's no manhunt or they're not looking for anybody else.
"The child is critically ill in Crumlin, and the mother is in hospital in Limerick."
