Gardaí and Crimestoppers appeal for information concerning 2011 death of Fintan Treanor (20) in Monaghan

The gardai and Crimestoppers has launched an appeal for information on the 7th anniversary of the death of Fintan Treanor from Co Monaghan.

In the early hours of Sunday the 26 th of June 2011, 20 year-old- Fintan Treanor was walking home after a night out in Castleblaney, at Lemgare, Clontibret, Co. Monaghan when he was struck by a vehicle and fatally injured. The Lemgare Road is a quiet country road, little used by traffic.

Gardai have appealed to anyone who was aware of an old model Audi A4 1995 to 2001 missing the front air vent grille.

Detective inspector James O'Leary speaking on the 7th anniversary of Fintan’s death said:“I am appealing to anyone who has any information in relation to this fatal hit and run in particular do you know the old model Audi A4 1995 to 2001 missing the front lower air-vent grille.  This vehicle has not been located.  7 years have now passed, do you know a person who disposed of this vehicle?  Perhaps at the time you felt unable to come forward with information but 7 years has passed and you may have vital information that would locate the driver.

He said:“If a member of the public prefers to give the information without identifying themselves, they can call Crimestoppers on 1800 25 00 25.”

Crimestoppers Chairman Tim Dalton commented, “Members of the public can call Crimestoppers with potentially valuable information about any crime without leaving their name or personal details. The ability to give information anonymously can be an important incentive and could help solve a case and secure a conviction.”

Anyone with information regarding this is asked to contact Crimestoppers on 1800 250025 and for more information visit http://www.crimestoppers.ie/
