Murder of David Nunan, Parteen, Co. Clare in October 2005.

Gardaí at Henry Street Garda Station are re-appealing for information in relation to the murder of David Nunan (DOB: 28.08.80) whose body was discovered on the 28th October 2005.

On the day in question a farmer was tending to his cattle near a laneway at Fairyhill, Parteen, Co. Clare, when he noticed the body of a young man lying up against a high gate at the back of a private house. Gardaí attended the scene where they found the body of David Nunan. A murder investigation was launched and an incident room was opened at Mayorstone Garda Station. Deputy State Pathologist Dr. Michael Curtis, together with a full team from the Garda Technical Bureau, was requested and attended at the scene.

An examination of the body of David Nunan suggested bullet wounds as being the principal contributory factor to the cause of death and later confirmed this to be the case.

David was playing videogames with a friend at his home at O’Malley Park when he received a phone call at about 2am.  Having finished speaking on the phone David informed his friend that he was going for a spin in a car.     

A Wine Toyota Carina is suspected of having collected David at his home in O Malley Park and to having driven from Southill to Moyross and again from Moyross in the direction of Parteen where the murder occurred.
