The State of Us - 4. Mother's 999 call
The desperate 999 call made by Noah Donohoe’s mother Fiona on the day he disappeared in June 2020 is played to the court during day 4 of the inquest examining his death.
She said she had been ‘concerned for his safety’ and her instinct was telling her it wasn’t right.
Later the inquest heard a pre-recorded statement in which Noah’s mother expressed concerns about the police investigation. The body of the 14 year old schoolboy was found in a storm drain in north Belfast six days after he was last seen alive.
