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.

Poor Fiona 💙

For Noah 💙

Bump. This case is so outrageous, as are the others highlighted where records are sealed.

But he lost/or otherwise, bag and coat during this 5, is that right? It is hard to work out what went on but I have to keep reminding myself, it's not that it needs working out, it's that the information is being hidden Sad

BadHairDayExpert · 16/04/2022 18:15

So many points leading to incompetence/deliberate covering up that it is incredible that this has not been picked up in detail by the mainstream press:

  1. No CCTV footage available from Great Victoria Street (the alleged blind spot /area of investment)
  2. No forensics done on Daryl Paul's appartment
  3. Changing of timing four times allowing no time for person(s) telling Noah to strip
  4. No identification of two men in cul-de-sac, no cordoning of street, crime scene not contained, clothes left in unsealed bag, bike left, no fingerprinting of laptop, no houses searched
  5. Possible collusion 'Father's Day prank' reasoning between two eyewitnesses
  6. Racist minority within that loyalist stronghold and prior sectarian attack on Flynn Maguire
  7. 16cm injury to Noah's head/side of face yet no foul play announced from the start
  8. Noah's supposed knowledge of an unlocked storm drain in an area unknown to him, climbing naked over barbed wire, voluntarily going into pitch-black drain, no reconstruction ever done
  9. Water sample request 27.6 never taken
10. Criminal A's alleged confession of bathtub then paramilitaries' disposal of body 11. Rumour - Thurs, paramilitaries told to hand over body Fri - body found in storm drain Reasons for media blackout/lack of transparency - to avoid social unrest/to protect police informer(s)

So there is not much time for anything else unusual to happen to Noah in that part of his journey.
7 minutes missing though by police changing the timeline 4x

The life of this beautiful lad was cut short, in a strange & sinister circumstances. Noah , his mum, family and friends deserve answers, no matter what.

What makes you think that lame?
Why would he voluntarily enter a storm drain he knew nothing about?

BadHairDayExpert · 16/04/2022 18:52

If a tragic accident and all evidence points in that direction, why the need for a Public Interest Immunity Certificate at all?

Jamboree01 · 16/04/2022 18:53

@lameasahorse

I have read this link now. www.reddit.com/r/northernireland/comments/mispd2/write_up_of_the_noah_donohue_case_including_a/

It is clear the police did not handle this well. It is also clear that the only foul play is corporate manslaughter from leaving a storm drain unlocked. It is possible he was attacked and his laptop taken. But there is no evidence at all of murder. It is a tragic accident.

Fiona Donohoe and her & Noah’s legal representatives disagree with you.

Exactly.

And if this was a tragic acccident, then where are Noah’s missing clothes?

Aibu to think if the worst happened and your child died in mysterious circumstances you should have a right to know what happened.

I've asked MNHQ to take a look behind the scenes.

I wasn't aware of this horrific story.

Rest in peace Noah, until your mum can hold you again 💙

TheRealMrsMac · 16/04/2022 19:16

It is nearly two years since Noah died @lameasahorse and it seems that you have an awful lot of catching up to do before posting on this thread claiming 'no foul play.'
