Police 'Gripped' Seriousness of Noah Donohoe Search at Early Stage, Inquest Told

An inquest found police responded well early on despite five procedural lapses, including risk assessment recording, in the 2020 search for Noah Donohoe.

  • Police realized the importance of the search for Noah Donohoe, a 14-year-old who went missing in Belfast in 2020, very early, allocating significant resources to the investigation.
  • Chief Inspector Robinson carried out a compliance review and identified some non-compliance issues with PSNI procedures, but believed these did not affect the quality of the search.
  • Brenda Campbell KC, representing Noah's mother, questioned if police could have responded better by examining CCTV footage more thoroughly, potentially making a difference in saving Noah's life.
