In the summer of 2020, 14-year-old Noah Donohoe went missing in Belfast. Six days later his body was found in a storm drain. His disappearance and death have dominated headlines for five and a half years. The inquest into his death will, for the first time, lay out the facts and evidence in this case. In this special series from The State of Us podcast, Tara Mills and Declan Harvey take you inside the courtroom, bringing you the evidence as it unfolds each day. Today the jurors heard from eyewitnesses who saw Noah fall off his bike as he cycled through north Belfast on the day he disappeared. Questions were also raised about the police appeal that suggested Noah had suffered a head injury when he fell.
