## Resource

Noah Donohoe’s remains were found in a storm drain in north Belfast on June 27, 2020.&nbsp; &nbsp; The 14-year-old had gone missing six days earlier.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; A post-mortem examination found that the likely cause of death was drowning.&nbsp; &nbsp; The inquest into his death, which is being heard before a jury, is in its 20th week.&nbsp; &nbsp; The jury has now heard from Detective Chief Inspector Tom Phillips. He was the senior investigating officer tasked with finding Noah and is the inquest’s final witness.&nbsp; &nbsp; He told the court that Police may ‘never have answers’ to some questions around Noah’s death.&nbsp; &nbsp; Liam Tunney is covering the inquest for the Belfast Telegraph.&nbsp; Hosted on Acast.
