An inquest into the death of 14-year-old Noah Donohoe in north Belfast continues as the jury considers its verdict. Multiple outlets report that the teenager, who disappeared in June 2020 after leaving home to meet friends, is found dead in an underground water structure in the area, described in reports as a storm drain or underground water tunnel. The inquest hears evidence before the jury begins deliberations on the findings and verdict.
The jury has been shown to deliberate for multiple days, with reporting that deliberations extend into late Thursday evening. One report states the jury is sent out to consider the verdict after considering the evidence presented. Another outlet says deliberations resume and enter a third day. A further report indicates that the inquest is adjourned until later this year, following the jury’s ongoing consideration.
All accounts agree on the broad timeline: Donohoe leaves home in June 2020, later is found dead in an underground water facility in north Belfast, and the inquest proceeds with the jury currently deliberating before reaching a conclusion.
