Gardaí investigating
the murder of Andrew Burns in Donnyloop yesterday
reissued their appeal to the public for information
about the killing.
Yesterday, one week on from Mr. Burns' murder,
investigating officers revisited the scene near St
Columba’s Church in the Donegal border village.
Gardaí mounted a number of checkpoints in the area
and spoke to members of the community to gain more
information about what happened that evening. They
also asked people to fill out questionnaires in
order to prompt recollections of the night of the
murder.
There are a number of specific appeal points on
which Gardaí are anxious to gather information. They
asked people whether they recall any of the
following details:
*Were they in the Waterfront Bar Strabane between
6.30pm and 7.30pm?
*Did they travel on the Main Street, Strabane,
between 6.45pm and 7pm and did they see Andrew Burns
going into his apartment?
*Did they observe any vehicles travelling between
the Fern area and Donnyloop between 6.30pm and
7.30pm.
Gardaí are working in close co-operation with their
colleagues in the Police Service of Northern Ireland
who will also engage with the public to find out
more about the hours leading up to Mr. Burns'
killing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Lifford
Gardaí on 074 9141000 or the Garda Confidential line
on 1800 666 111. People can also call to the mobile
incident command centre which is at the scene at
Donnyloop Church. |
