TW. Noah. The PSNI and their failure to investigate his death?

Noah Donohoe was found lifeless in a storm drain on June 27, 2020. A post-mortem report declared that he died as a result of drowning. Well, because the job of the police is to look at every possible and impossible, there has been a growing number of Belfast residents wanting to know if there was a racial motivation in the death of Noah Donohoe. People want to know the truth. The more the family of Noah and public are cautioned against making so-called unsubstantiated statements, the more they hunger for the truth.The PSNI is bungling this sad case

This 14 year old set off on his bike one Sunday, two years ago now, to meet a friend. They were working on a Duke of Edinburgh award.

Six days later, his naked body was found a kilometre inside an unlocked storm drain, in a part of Belfast he did not frequent.

Apparently, the police announced that there was no foul play involved, on the very day that his body was found. Even before an autopsy took place. There still has been no Inquest.

The police version of events is that: Noah fell from his bike, sustained a head injury, removed his clothes in confusion, ditched his bike, wandered off naked into a part of the city he would not usually go into, and somehow ended up drowned a kilometre inside an ( unusually) unlocked storm drain.

I understand that Noah was of African/Irish heritage. Police have never considered a racial element in his death and disappearance. Another schoolboy a fortnight earlier, had been attacked and chased by a group of youths whilst cycling. He escaped from them only after running three miles to safety. Police did not investigate any links between the incidents.

His mother's demand for answers from the Police Service Northern Ireland appears to have been blocked by them. There is a petition requesting the release of these files.

Please, if you are able, can you support his mum Fiona, and sign the petition on MN?

This has been referred to as "the PSNI's Stephen Lawrence scandal". Let us pray and hope that it is not.

2 years on, RIP #GeorgeFloyd.
Racism in all its ugly forms is at the core of all communities. Sadly so is police corruption. The North of Ireland will forever live in its shadows if people do not take action.

Thank you to those who highlighted the email issue! I've signed this before but didn't realise I had to confirm! It is not coming up in any of my email addresses for me to confirm

Confirmed via email!

Frightening story and I cannot fathom how Noah's mother feels

Thank you @GalactatingGoddess - Change was down for an upgrade for a while today.

Niamh Donohoe on Twitter, for those who will/can be in NI at the time:
'We hope people come out and support us at the next coroner's court hearing on the 1st of July. Show them all Noah's Army⚡ haven't gone away.'

BBC Question Time is from Belfast tonight. It would be very good to think that someone might get to ask a question about the lack of a proper police investigation for Noah, (including whether it was a racially-motivated attack and whether institutional racism is partly responsible for the poor response to his disappearance and death), and about the use of Public Interest Immunity Certificates.

It's rather strange that every or almost every link on Mumsnet to this AIBU thread about Noah Donohoe had changed and stopped working, including the link upthread on BMN. Anyone would think MI5 are on Mumsnet joking, not joking

I reported it to MNHQ and even they are having trouble making the newly-broken links to the thread about Noah work again! They've flagged it to their Tech team.

Thank you 💙

While the Spotlight programme is not directly about Noah, it is good to see at least some of the wrongdoing and culture within the police (PSNI) being exposed. We live in hope for a brave whistleblower to come forward for Noah. It will only take one. 💙

At 6.11pm today, it will be 102 weeks since young Noah disappeared on his journey from his home to meet his friends, only for his naked body to be retrieved from a storm drain 6 days later. His mother Fiona and auntie Niamh are still fighting for the truth about Noah's death and for justice for Noah.

Thank you 💙

Maria Nolan, 30, lived at a hostel close to Noah's home. It has been reported that Noah's mum had complained about anti-social behaviour outside the hostel and that Nolan and Daryl Paul, 34, were outside the hostel on the day that Noah disappeared and watched him leave. It has also been reported that Nolan made but then retracted statements that Noah was later assaulted.
