murder
09.02.18
GARDAI in Buncrana have
renewed their appeal for information five years
after the murder of a Derryman in the town.
Investigators believe those involved in killing
Andrew Allen (24) on February 9, 2012 are still
being sheltered by others and may also have received
help in planning the murder and destroying evidence.
Mr Allen was murdered in his home at Links View
Park, Lisfannon, in front of his partner at
approximately 9.20pm. He received a number of
gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A silver Vauxhall Cavalier car, believed to be
involved in the crime, was located on fire three
miles away at Churchbrea, Fahan, after the shooting. |

that may assist with the investigation." |
