Some Mumsnetters will have heard, or seen my threads and those of other Mumsnetters, about young Noah Donohoe. Noah was a much-loved and loving, bright, beautiful, bi-racial, gentle, funny, kind, musical, sporty and innocent 14 year old child. On 21st June 2020, Noah set off on a cycle ride to meet his schoolfriends to work on his Duke of Edinburgh Award. Tragically, Noah never arrived and his naked body was found in a drain 6 days later, exactly two years ago today.
Noah's mummy Fiona and his auntie Niamh Donohoe are still - yes, two years later - having to fight very hard for the truth about his death and for justice for Noah.
💙This Friday, 1st July, 2022, Noah's Inquest is to be held at Langanside Courts, Belfast - time to be confirmed, but likely to be midday. Fiona and Niamh will be attending in person, alongside the legal team, and very much need - and would very much welcome - your support outside court. If you can attend, please do.💙
Whether or not you can offer your support in person on Friday, if you haven't already signed, a link to Fiona's petition so far with 307,822 signatures can easily be found in the OP of this thread here, together with more information about Noah's story. The police have applied for four files from their faulty investigation into Noah's disappearance and death to be kept secret:

All help to keep posting and bumping this thread and the petition thread into Active gratefully received.
Thank you 💙
