Just as the title says.

Noah Donohoe disappeared coming home from school, his body was found in a storm drain without his clothes.

His mother can not get answers on why the police decided, immediately that there was no four play and us being blocked from seeing 4 files by the police.

She says On the day Noah was found, before Noah was formally identified, the Police did a media release stating that there was ‘No Foul Play’ involved.I ask, if the police are so sure that ‘No Foul Play’ was involved, why are the police now trying to stop me, as Noah’s mummy, getting four files of information on Noah’s investigation?

Surely I am not unreasonable to think this isn't ok and that most of use would want to know what had happened to our child?

This is an overview of what has happened so far.

My heart breaks for Fiona. She deserves the truth.

Awful. 😢😢😢

Beyond torture. If this is what is in disclosure, makes you wonder what os in the four files they are trying to prevent seeing the light of day
CatChant · 31/03/2022 19:16

And Fiona lives every day fearing that was what happened to her precious child? Crucifixion would be less agonising.

How can anyone deny her access to the truth?

It's a scandal that after 2 years she is still no closer to an answer.

Evening all. Just wanted to let people know there is a Facebook group 'Noah Donohoe Justice'.

There's regular updates and I am sure the family will appreciate the support.

I can't imagine the fear and pain Fiona lives with every day.

My heart breaks at the thought of what Noah went through and what his mum has been going through since. I couldn't even begin to imagine. He was a beautiful boy and his family deserve answers!!! The PSNI have acted disgracefully

Somatronic · 01/04/2022 10:41

I think for people unfamiliar with the north of Ireland and the PSNI, people's concerns about someone harming Noah may seem far fetched.

I watched a documentary about the murder of Arlene Arkinson the other night, a 15 year old girl who was killed in 1994. In that case a PII cert was used to withhold evidence, and the family believe that this is because the murderer Robert Howard was a police informant. Either way, the investigation was an absolute mess which allowed Howard to go to England and murder another young girl, Hannah Williams.

Thank you so much to those who are signing or signing and sharing the petition. Don't forget to confirm your signature or it won't count - a lot of signatures are unintentionally lost this way. It has 302,675 signatures just now and the target is 500k. Let's keep shining the light on getting justice for Noah.

When I started this thread it was St Patrick's Day, we carried on especially for Fiona for Mother's Day, and now Easter is coming. Can you help?www.mumsnet.com/Talk/petitions_noticeboard/4507415--As-its-St-Patricks-Day-today-can-I-ask-you-to-spare-5-minutes-for-Noah-Donahoe-and-his-mummy-TW

Arlene’s case has never left me… along with many others
