PSNI make appeal for information over murder of man at Co Antrim bonfire in 2000

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has renewed its appeal for information regarding the 2000 murder of Andrew Cairns during a bonfire event in Co Antrim. Cairns was shot and killed by a group of men during an altercation at the Rangers Supporters Club, with multiple attackers later kicking him after the shooting. Despite some arrests and convictions related to the case, no one has been formally convicted for his murder. The PSNI emphasizes the ongoing impact on Cairns' family and urges witnesses or individuals with knowledge to come forward. The appeal highlights the unresolved nature of the case and the emotional toll on the victim's family.
