GARDAÍ have issued a fresh appeal for information ten years on from the murder of Andrew Allen.
Mr Allen, who was 24, was murdered at his home in at Links View Park, Buncrana, on February 9, 2012. The killing was claimed by micro-group Republican Action Against Drugs who labelled him as a drug dealer. This has always been refuted by his friends and family.
“An Garda Síochána are grateful for all the witnesses that have come forward and made statements but Gardai believe that there are still people in both Buncrana and Derry city who have information that may assist with the investigation.
Andrew Allen who was gunned down in Buncrana a decade ago.
“Six people have been arrested and questioned during the course of this investigation with up to 700 lines of enquiry followed over the past 10 years. An Garda Síochána are grateful for all those who have assisted the investigation.
“An Garda Síochána together with our counterparts in the Police Service of Northern Ireland continue to investigate this heinous murder.
“Now with the passage of time An Garda Síochána is appealing to anyone with information which may assist this ongoing investigation to make contact with them.
