4. Mother's 999 call

from The State of Us · host BBC Sounds

The desperate 999 call made by Noah Donohoe’s mother Fiona on the day he disappeared in June 2020 is played to the court during day 4 of the inquest examining his death. She said she had been ‘concerned for his safety’ and her instinct was telling her it wasn’t right. Later the inquest heard a pre-recorded statement in which Noah’s mother expressed concerns about the police investigation. The body of the 14 year old schoolboy was found in a storm drain in north Belfast six days after he was last seen alive. This programme has been edited for accuracy.
