Gardaí have renewed their appeal for information into the murder of Raonaid Murray nine years ago.
Thousands of people have been interviewed since the apparently motiveless motive of the Glenageary teenager in September 1999, but so far the identity of Raonaid’s killer remains unknown.
A garda appeal in 2007 prompted a number of people to come forward with information.
Raonaid left Scott’s Public house in Dun Laoghaire at 11.20pm on Friday, 3 September. Her body was found at Silchester Crescent, Glenageary only 450 metres from her home at 12.40am.
Gardai believe the 17-year-old was attacked between midnight and 12.10am. The walk from Dun Laoghaire takes approximately 15 minutes and there is a period of between 20 to 35 minutes in Raonaid’s last movements that have not been accounted for.
Many of the people in the area that night were in their late teens and early 20s. These people are now in their 20s and 30s and Gardaí believe there may still be some people with vital information who have not come forward.
A garda spokesperson said that those people, who may now be parents themselves, may be in a better position to come forward with information.
The Murray family has also appealed to the public for any information which may lead to the arrest of Raonaid’s killer.
The family urged anybody with information to contact the Garda Incident room at Dun Laoghaire, on 01-6665012 or the Garda Confidential line at 1800 666 111.
