The Belfast teenager was found in a storm drain next to Premier Drive/Northwood Road in North Belfast after going missing in June last year. The drain is owned by the Department for Infrastructure.

Police are working in conjunction with the Health and Safety Executive and Public Prosecution Service and have informed the Donohoe family of the development, a PSNI spokesman added.
