Raonaid Murray

Gardai have today issued a fresh appeal for anybody with information about the murder of Dublin schoolgirl Raonaid Murray to come forward on the 15th anniversary of her death.

Gardai are seeking help from anybody who knows who was responsible for the savage murder of the 17 year-old in Glenageary on 4 September 1999.

The schoolgirl was returning home from a night out when she was stabbed to death at Silchester Crescent just yards from her home.

Investigators said today that they have not given up hope on solving the case and have appealed for witnesses to come forward.

A spokesman said: "Extensive lines of enquiries have been and continue to be pursued by the investigation team. Gardai are again renewing their appeal for any information which may assist in their continued investigation. If any person has any information which could assist in identifying a motive for the murder of Raonaid and or if any person has any doubts about the veracity of an alibi provided, we would appeal for your immediate assistance"

Gardai had several suspects in the case but were never able to bring charges. They suspect that several people may have given false alibis to protect the killer and hope that they will come forward and admit their statements were false.
