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 jury saw CCTV footage of Noah falling off his bike on the day he disappeared. And the court heard how Noah was preoccupied with psychologist Jordan Peterson’s book ’12 Rules for Life’.
