Gardaí say a number of people in Derry and Buncrana have information about the murder, eleven-years-ago, of father-of-two, Andrew Allen.
Mr Allen (24), from Gobnascale in Derry’s Waterside, was shot dead at his home at Links View Park in Buncrana on the night of February 9 2012. His murder took place six months after he was ordered to leave Derry by Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAd). The organisation, which later merged with other groups to form the New IRA, claimed responsibility for his murder.
In an appeal marking the eleventh anniversary of Mr Allen’s murder, a Garda spokesman 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, but 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.”
The spokesman appealed to anyone with information “however insignificant” to come forward.
