A fresh appeal has been issued today, the ninth anniversary of the murder of Andrew Allen.
Mr Allen was 24 when he was shot dead at his home in at Links View Park Buncrana on February 9, 2012.
He was shot in front of his partner at approximately 9.20pm and pronounced dead at the scene. A car believed to be involved in the murder was located at Churchbrea, Fahan on fire shortly after the shooting.
A Garda spokesperson said that while some witnesses have come forward, more are needed if Mr Allen’s killers are ever to be brought to justice.
“An Garda Siochana 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.
