Murder victim Andrew Allen blasted to death by RAAD in Buncrana six years ago

DONEGAL coroner Dr Denis McCauley has asked for a report on the garda investigation into the murder of Derry man Andrew Allen, who was shot dead in a house in Buncrana in February 2012.

The 24-year-old, who was from the Waterside area, had been living at the house at Links View Park.

A so-called  group calling itself Republican Action Against Drugs claimed responsibility for the killing.

RTE reports that Inspector David Murphy asked today at Buncrana courthouse for a further adjournment of the inquest into Mr Allen’s death.

He said that a number of strands in the inquiry are still open and being assessed by the investigating team.

Inspector Murphy said he was conscious that the sixth anniversary of Mr Allen’s death had passed but there are very extensive inquiries still being pursued.

Agreeing to an adjournment to September, Dr McCauley asked that the gardaí make a reasoned argument to him then as to why he should not set a date for an inquest after six years.

Without interfering with the investigation, he said, he would like an assessment as to the likelihood of this case being successful.

Gardaí issued a renewed appeal for information in the case on the sixth anniversary of Mr Allen’s death on 9 February last.

There have been five arrests in the course of the investigation but no one has been charged in connection with his death.
