What happened to Belfast teenager Noah Donohoe?
About this episode
The episode discusses the inquest into the death of Belfast teenager Noah Donohoe and the jury's inability to reach a verdict after extensive deliberations.
After three days of deliberations, the jury in the inquest into the death of Belfast teenager Noah Donohoe could not reach a verdict. They had sat in court hearing evidence for six months. His death six years ago has been one of the most high-profile cases in Northern Ireland in recent years, with conspiracy theories swirling on social media driving controversy and speculation. How did Noah die? What were the jurors tasked with deciding? How did the PSNI describe their search for the teenager, whose body was found six days after he went missing? And what happens now in an inquest many have repeatedly called “unprecedented”? Seanín Graham, Irish Times Northern correspondent, was at Belfast Coroner’s Court for the verdict. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan, with research by Ellen Clusker. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
