Renewed Appeal Over Raonaid Murray Murder

Gardai have appealed for information regarding the murder of 17-year-old Raonaid Murray on the 15th anniversary of her death.

Raonaid worked at a clothes shop then known as Sally West in Dun Laoghaire Shopping Centre. She left the shop at about 21:00 on 3 September 1999 and went with a friend to Scott’s Public House in Dun Laoghaire.

She made arrangements with a friend to go to a night club later that same evening and then left Scott’s at approximately 23:20 to go home and change. Raonaid's house is about 15 minutes' walk from Scott's Public House.

Her body was found at Silchester Crescent in Glenageary at 00:33 on the morning of 4 September less than 500 yards from her home.

Gardai said: "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."

Raonaid’s family have also appealed to the public for any information that could lead to the arrest of her killer.

Gardai and Raonaid’s family have asked anyone with information to contact the Garda Incident Room at Dun Laoghaire Garda Station, phone 01-6665032 / 6665012 or alternatively the Garda Confidential line at 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
