“I am keen to gather as much information as possible about Conall’s movements in the period after he left the Metro Bar early on Sunday morning.

“I would particularly like to hear from anyone who was in the Bank Place or Foyle Street areas between 2.15am and 2.45am on Sunday morning. I would ask those people to get in touch with police, the smallest detail just might help us establish where Conall was during this time, what he was doing and who he was with.”

Detectives can be contacted at Strand Road Police Station by calling 101.

The Mayor Elisha McCallion extended her deepest sympathies to Conall’s family.
