A coroner’s inquest continues into the death of 14-year-old Belfast schoolboy Noah Donohoe. On the second day of the coroner’s summing up, the jury is instructed to consider whether errors by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) during the search for Noah contributed to his death. The inquest process includes the coroner outlining the relevant issues for the jury to decide, after which the jury will deliberate based on the evidence presented during the hearing. The reports indicate the matter the jury is being asked to weigh is whether shortcomings or mistakes connected to PSNI actions in the search period had a causal role in Noah’s death. The inquest is therefore focused not only on the circumstances surrounding Noah’s passing, but specifically on the question of possible police error and its impact. The proceedings are ongoing, and the jury’s determination is awaited.
