All Mumsnetters are warmly invited to post here to remember Noah and in support of Fiona and Niamh. The 3 images I have attached are from his mummy Fiona Donohoe and his auntie Niamh Donohoe.

Some Mumsnetters will have seen my threads and those of other Mumsnetters about beautiful Belfast child Noah Donohoe. At 6.11pm today, it will be 2 years since Noah was last seen alive. It was the last ever day that Noah and his mummy Fiona could exchange a hug and say 'I love you'. Then Noah cycled off to meet his schoolfriends to work on his Duke of Edinburgh Award, but he never arrived. After Noah had been missing for 6 days, his naked body was retrieved from a storm drain.

Noah's mummy Fiona and auntie Niamh are still having to fight very hard for the truth about his death and for justice for Noah. If you haven't already signed, a link to Fiona's petition, so far with 307,442 signatures, can easily be found in the OP of this thread here:

All Mumsnetters are warmly invited to post here to remember Noah and in support of Fiona and Niamh.

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

Thank you 💙

Then why are the police saying it was an accident? If there’s evidence of the child being ‘hunted’ how are they getting away with that??
I know the PSNI have a reputation of being lazy and corrupt but even they wouldn’t get away with that?

As I say in my OP, I'd intended this more as a thread to remember Noah and to support his mummy and auntie, @Ahgoonyegirlye - perhaps you would like to read this pinned thread?:

There are more questions than answers about Noah's disappearance and death. The police investigation, if you can call it that, has been very poor on every level right from the very beginning. Incompetence or cover up? You decide.

Noah has touched so many people's lives.

This is very true. Not just in the UK and Ireland, but around the world.

The next date for young Noah's inquest has been set for 1st July 2022. Please will you help to prevent files from the police investigation from being kept secret and support Fiona by signing her petition? The link and more information can easily be found in the OP of this thread here:

I thought he died in an accident?

This has not been found. The next inquest date is 1st July, 2022.

Hit his head and drowned?

The police suggested that Noah had hit his head when he fell off his bike and that this caused everything that subsequently happened to Noah. The witness to this fall has said Noah did not hit his head and got straight back on and cycled off again. He was also wearing a helmet.

The cause of Noah's death has been given as drowning, yes. Water samples from the storm drain where his body was apparently retrieved from were not taken to compare with the water in Noah's lungs. It can't be said where Noah drowned/was drowned - in the storm drain or, for example, in someone's bath. Noah's body did not look as you would expect after allegedly spending six days in a storm drain. Where was Noah - after the last disclosed CCTV footage of him running naked, distressed and exhausted on Northwood Road on 21st June 2020 at 6.11pm - for the six days he was missing until his body was apparently retrieved from the storm drain 950m away?

The police are suggesting Noah drowned as a result of misadventure or even suicide. The next inquest date is 1st July, 2022.

I know the PSNI have a reputation of being lazy and corrupt but even they wouldn’t get away with that?

To begin with, it's crucial that Brandon Lewis, Conservative MP for Great Yarmouth and Northern Ireland Secretary of State, does not sign off the application from the police (PSNI) and coroner for a Public Interest Immunity Certificate to keep 4 files of information secret relating to their investigation - if you can call it that - into Noah's death and disappearance.
For those wanting to object to the files being kept secret, here are Brandon Lewis's contact details:
members.parliament.uk/member/4009/contact
www.facebook.com/BrandonKennethLewis/
twitter.com/BrandonLewis
instagram.com/BrandonLewis
And here again is the thread with the link to Fiona's Change petition in the OP:
www.mumsnet.com/talk/petitions_noticeboard/4573833-noah-donohoe-his-mothers-fight-for-the-truth-and-justice-please-help-stop-the-police-coroner-and-brandon-lewis-from-keeping-investigation-files-into-the-death-of-a-child-secret-thread-3

A new and independent investigation into Noah's disappearance and death and a public inquiry are being called for, as there is now no confidence in the police (PSNI) and coroner.

Again, factual information for those new to Noah's story or wanting to know more is available to read here:

This is a video from Fiona of Noah. He wanted to be a doctor to help people and had taught himself the Periodic Table. Here he is, singing it:

This is who has been taken from his future, his mummy, family and friends.

The next date for wee Noah's inquest has been set for 1st July, 2022 at Langanside Courts, Belfast. The time is likely to be midday, but to be confirmed. If you are or can be in Belfast then, support is very much needed and very much welcomed outside court by Fiona and Niamh.
