Gardai believe people in Buncrana and Derry City have information on 2012 murder of Andrew Allen

Gardai are appealing for new information on the 11th anniversary of the murder of 24-year-old Andrew Allen in Donegal.

Officers investigating the case say they believe there are people in both Buncrana and Derry City who have information on this murder.

They are appealing for them to come forward as they mark 11 years since the 24-year-old was attacked by a group of people at his home.

He was living at Links View Park in Buncrana at the time of his murder and police say he was shot in front of his partner at approximately 9.20 pm on February 9, 2012.

Gardai and medics rushed to the scene, but later that night, Andrew was pronounced dead at the home.

A garda spokesperson said: “Investigating Gardaí believe that a number of people were involved in the murder, destruction of evidence, and subsequently sheltering the killers involved.

“A number of people have been arrested and questioned in connection with the investigation to date.

“However, Gardaí believe that there are still people in both Buncrana and Derry City who have information that may assist in bringing those responsible to justice”.

An Garda Síochána is appealing to anyone with information, however insignificant it may seem, to come forward.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room at Buncrana Garda Station on 074-93 20540, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
