The State of Us

Available for over a year

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. On day eight of the inquest a key witness told the jury how she and her son had seen Noah cycling naked past their window on the day he disappeared. Another witness from the same street described finding Noah’s bike outside her home. The jury heard she had been the first person to call police into the area where Noah was found.
