Caoimhin Cassidy had not been seriously injured in the crash, police have said.

DETECTIVES investigating the fatal road traffic collision on Fairview Road in Derry on Saturday, June 1, which claimed the life of Caoimhin Cassidy, are making a number of specific appeals for information.

Detective Inspector Michael Winters said: “The body of 18-year-old Caoimhin Cassidy was found inside a red Mazda 6, which had crashed on the Fairview Road during the early hours of Saturday 1 June.

“Initially it was believed that the car had caught fire as a result of the collision.

“However, the results from the post mortem examination tell us that Caoimhin was not seriously injured as a result of a crash, and was most likely still alive when the blaze started.

“Our enquiries to date have led us to conclude that Caoimhin was not travelling alone in the vehicle and we are keen to trace the individuals who were with him.

“We’ve received a report of two males running away from where the vehicle came to a final halt on Fairview Road, near Knockalla Park, heading in the direction of Ferndale.

“Did you see these males? Can you help us identify them?

“We’ve also been made aware of sightings of a male, possibly injured, walking on the Buncrana Road, past the Skeoge Link Road, towards the border a short time later.

“If you can cast your mind back and remember anything about Caoimhin’s movements, or those of the red Mazda 6, on the evening of Friday 31 May, then please get in touch.

“Any detail, no matter how small it might seem, could be invaluable.

The teenager’s body was found inside this car in the Galliagh area of Derry

“Contact detectives at Strand Road on 101, quoting reference number 316 of 01/06/19.”

Alternatively, information can be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
