Summary
- Woman heard two screams on the night Noah Donohoe went missing.
- Noah was last seen walking naked near Northwood Road.
- A constable's statement differed from Noah's mother's account.
An inquest into the death of 14-year-old Noah Donohoe heard new testimony regarding screams heard on the night he disappeared. A witness, Tanya Brown, stated she heard two screams around midnight on June 21, 2020, the same night Noah went missing from his home in Belfast. Noah was last seen walking naked near Northwood Road before being found dead six days later in a storm drain, with drowning identified as the cause of death.
The proceedings also examined a constable's statement provided seven months after Noah's death. This statement reportedly presented a different account of conversations with Noah's mother, Fiona Donohoe, concerning Noah's behavior and his interest in Jordan Peterson's book '12 Rules For Life'. This testimony has raised questions about the consistency of information provided during the investigation.
The inquest is currently in its third week, with Noah's mother attending all proceedings. The witness testimony about the screams and the scrutiny of police statements add further layers to the ongoing investigation into Noah Donohoe's tragic death.
