Gardai have said they now know who murdered Derry man Andrew Allen and they are building a case against those involved.

Andrew Allen.

Andrew Allen.

Mr Allen (24), a father of two originally from the Waterside area of Derry, was shot dead on 9 February 2012 at a house at Links View, Lisfannon outside Buncrana in Inishowen.

His partner, who was in the house at the time, escaped injury when shots were fired through a downstairs window.

The Derry-based paramilitary group RAAD (Republican Action Against Drugs) claimed responsibility for the killing. His family have always denied the claims he was a drug dealer.

The senior Garda officer leading he investigation said they had identified a number of people involved in the killing and appealed to them to come forward.

Detective Inspector Patrick O’Donnell said that while a small number carried out the murder, others sourced cars, guns, clothing, provided transport and “assisted in the preparation and the escape after the crime.”

He said: “I am appealing to those involved to come forward now and give closure to Andrew’s family and partner.”

Detectives have pursued around 500 lines of enquiry, resulting in the taking of 200 statements to date.

Two arrests have been made and numerous searches conducted on either side of the border.
