Investigations are continuing.

Mr Allen (24), from Derry, was shot in the bedroom of his home at Links View Park, Buncrana, on February 9, 2012.

His girlfriend, who was also in the house at the time, miraculously escaped being injured.

The Republican Action Against Drugs group later claimed they carried out the killing saying Mr Allen was a drug-dealer.

However his family has strongly denied the claims.
