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. Three expert pathologists give evidence for a second day and are asked if drugs could have been involved in Noah’s death. One of the experts also says it’s “one of the most extraordinary cases” he has dealt with.
