Gardaí have issued an appeal on the eve of the 15th anniversary of the murder of Andrew Burns in east Donegal.

On Tuesday, 12th February, 2008, Mr Andrew Burns (27) was murdered at Donnyloop, Castlefin.

Shortly after 7pm that day, he received a number of gunshot wounds. He was later found on a roadway close to Donnyloop Church and pronounced dead shortly before 8pm. It is believed a number of individuals were involved in his murder.

To date one person has been convicted of this murder and is currently serving a life sentence.

“Andrew’s family remain devastated by this heinous act and continue to struggle to come to terms with his murder,” a spokesperson for the Garda Press Office said.

“As we approach this 15th anniversary, An Garda Síochána is urging anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem to them, to come forward and speak with An Garda Síochána.”

In particular the investigation team at Letterkenny Garda Station would like to specifically appeal to the occupant or occupants of a red vehicle that it is believed to have been in the carpark at Donnyloop church at around 7pm on the evening of Andrew’s.

The investigation team do not believe that the occupant or occupants of this red vehicle were in any way connected with the murder, but they may have vital information to offer due to their presence at the carpark at Donnyloop church on the evening in question.

“Information received by An Garda Síochána will be treated in the strictest confidence.”

Anyone with information is asked to please contact the incident room at Letterkenny Garda Station on 074 9167100, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or make contact with any Garda Station.
