Gardaí investigating the murder of Dungloe undertaker Shaun Duffy will be making a national appeal for information this evening.
Mr Duffy (36) was killed at his home in Meenacross outside Dungloe on Saturday 29th January 2005.
The bachelor had been brutally attacked with a knife and a crossbow and left to die.
The murder of the former undertaker and part-time bouncer has been described as one of the most gruesome and shocking killings in Donegal’s history. One of the county’s biggest investigations followed, with more than 1,430 lines of inquiry pursued and 670 witnesses interviewed.
Shaun had been socialising in the Strand View Bar in Maghery on Friday 28th January 2005. He then continued to socialise at a house in Meenacross, Dungloe and returned to his own home at approximately 2:30am. His body was discovered in his home shortly before 2:30pm that afternoon.
Tonight’s Crimecall programme on RTE One will hear from Superintendent David Kelly of Milford Garda Station as he issues a fresh appeal for information in relation to the murder.
A further appeal in January 2019 revealed that gardaí had reason to believe that a number of people have yet to come forward to assist in bringing Shaun’s killer or killers to justice. “With the passage of time some person may now be in a position to provide information to investigating Gardaí that they could not provide at the time, or maybe some person who did provide information at the time may be now in a position to provide further information,” a spokesperson said.
Crimecall will be aired at 9.35pm on RTÉ 1.
“If anyone has any information in relation to the appeal we ask them to contact Milford Gardaí on 074-9153060 or to contact the Garda Confidential line on 1800 666 111.”
