Shaun Duffy: Fresh appeal for information about unsolved murder

A FRESH appeal has been made for information on the 20th anniversary of the murder of a Donegal man.

Shaun Duffy (36), late of Meenacross, was attacked and fatally wounded in his home in the early hours of Saturday, January 29, 2005. His body was discovered in his home shortly before 2.30pm that afternoon.

He had been socialising in the Strand View Bar in Maghery on Friday, January 28, 2005; it was his younger brother Kevin’s birthday and Mr Duffy was there with friends and family.

After the pub, Mr Duffy continued to socialise at his mother’s house in Meenacross and returned to his own home at approximately 2.30am.

Mr Duffy was well known in the area. He worked as an undertaker and as a mechanic. He had an interest and involvement in motor racing and horse sales.

The solving of this murder continues to be a priority for An Garda Síochána.

The investigation team at Milford Garda Station would like to thank those who have offered valuable information or assistance to the investigation to date.

“With the passage of time, some person may now be in a position to provide information to investigating Gardaí that they could not provide at the time, or maybe some person who did provide information at the time may be now in a position to provide further information.

“Gardaí encourage anyone whom they may or may not have spoken to previously, to come forward.

“Investigating Gardaí in Milford continue to appeal for information in this case and believe that a number of people have yet to come forward who may now be in a position to assist in bringing those responsible to justice.

“Any information received will be treated with absolute confidentiality.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Milford Garda Station on 074 915 3060 or the Garda Confidential line on 1800 666 111.
