And remember 14 year old Noah Donohoe.

4 years ago today he was found dead in a drainage channel in Belfast after a six day search.

The police investigation into Noah's disappearance was at best incompetent at worst criminal.

4 years on and the inquest hasn't yet begun but prevents some of what can be said online.

But tonight please think of Noah, of his mother Fiona and Auntie Niamh along with the rest of the family.
And pray that somehow the truth of what happened that day will come to light and let Noah truly be at peace.

Sending love to Noah's family and friends, and hoping they get the answers they've waited so long for. 💐

Wow so we don't know what happened?

That is not something we can comment upon here purpleme12 with the Inquest due to begin quite soon. It is important as the Inquest is being held before a jury.

Just to clarify, Noah went missing 4 years ago today after leaving his mummy and home in Belfast to meet his friends. His naked body was retrieved from a drain 6 days later.

We are limited in what we can currently post by law, with the Inquest due later this year. I would ask posters to be mindful of this.

Remembering Noah today, 4 years on from that fateful day, and thinking of his family, friends and supporters.

He will never be forgotten. 💙

Rest in peace Noah.
Thinking of all who loved him.

It's awful. My heart goes out to the family.
I hope answers come soon.

Demonhunter · 21/06/2024 21:38

There's something really off with the whole thing, especially the secrecy of the investigation and why they withheld crucial information for so long.
I wouldn't like his poor mother's mind, must be excruciating not knowing what happened.

RIP Noah.

You deserved better.

Thinking about Noah and his family ❤️

DanielGault · 21/06/2024 21:33

There seems to be no idea what happened to Noah after all this time and investigations. Fair play to OP for highlighting this. RIP Noah.

Hoglet70 · 21/06/2024 21:31

This was awful and there are so many unanswered questions still. His Mum is trying very hard to keep his memory alive and get to the bottom of what happened.

DinaofCloud9 · 21/06/2024 21:30

Gosh it feels longer than 4 years ago. I remember it well. His poor mum.

GennyLec · 21/06/2024 21:29

That poor boy. I feel for his family and all who loved him.

JacquesHarlow · 21/06/2024 21:28
