Belfast teenager whose body was found in storm drain ‘failed by the PSNI’

Not enough evidence to explain circumstances of Noah Donohoe's death, partly due to police mistakes, inquest finds

An inquest into the death of a teenager whose body was found in a Belfast storm drain has found there is not enough evidence to explain the puzzling circumstances of how he died, partly because of mistakes by police investigators.

Noah Donohoe, 14, was last seen on 21 June 2020 when he left his south Belfast home on his bicycle, telling his mother he was going to visit friends. His naked body was found six days later, deep inside an underground water tunnel in the north of the city.
