A special series from The State of Us podcast.
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. The first police officers to begin the search for Noah were questioned in court today. At first, his disappearance was categorised as ‘medium risk’ but was upgraded to ‘high risk’ the same day.
