Jury continues deliberations in Noah Donohoe inquest
The panel is into its second day considering its findings in the inquest, which has lasted almost six months.
Jury deliberations in the inquest into the death of Belfast schoolboy Noah Donohoe are continuing.
The 14-year-old was found naked in an underground water tunnel in the city in June 2020 after being missing for six days.
The jury of eight men and two women has been tasked with unanimously agreeing responses to 10 questions, including the date of Noah’s death and whether any errors made by police contributed to his death.
Mr Justice Rooney has emphasised to the jury that they must reach their findings based on what they have heard and seen in court.
It comes after almost six months of evidence at Belfast Coroner’s Court involving 76 witnesses, statements from a further 42 people, maps, video footage, photographs, police logs and expert reports.
Noah’s mother Fiona has been present for every day of the inquest.
The jury were sent out on Tuesday and deliberated for just over five hours.
They returned to court on Wednesday morning and resumed discussions at 9.45am.
