Murdered: Andrew
Gardaí investigating the murder of Andrew Allen on the 9th of February 2012 at Links View Park, Buncrana, Co Donegal, have this morning arrested a male in his 40’s in connection with this investigation.
He was arrested in Co Donegal and is currently detained under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act, 1939, at Buncrana Garda Station.
The arrest came just hours after Gardai said they knew who his killers are.
However, they said they are still in the process of building up a case against those behind the brutal killing.
Mr Allen’s mother has said recently she is satisfied that Gardai will bring her son’s killer to justice.
This is the third arrest in relation to the Allen murder.
Two other men arrested last year on separate occasions were released without charge after being interviewed.
Dissident republicans had claimed that Mr Allen, who was originally from Derry, was involved in the drugs trade – a claim always refuted by his family.
The father of one was shot in the bedroom of his home in front of his girlfriend.
