    Noah Donohoe Episode 5: The Prison Confession

    In Episode 5 of our investigation into the case of Noah Donohoe, we examine an extraordinary prison-cell confession, and ask how far its details can actually be tested against the forensic evidence. A former prisoner, identified in the programme as Nathan, recounts what he says a cellmate told him about Noah. Donal MacIntyre and forensic physician Jason Payne-James examine that account alongside the pathology discussed in this series. The alleged suspect approached during the investigation denied involvement. PSNI subsequently told the coroner that it had investigated the claim and found no merit in it.

    Noah Donohoe Episode 4: What Happened After 6:08pm?

    At 6:08pm on 21 June 2020, 14-year-old Noah Donohoe was last seen in Northwood Road, Belfast. In episode 4 of The Search For Truth: Noah Donohoe, we ask what may have happened next - and why he might have entered a storm drain he apparently did not know. Donal MacIntyre and forensic physician Jason Payne-James examine Noah’s last known movements, the accessibility of the drain and witness reports from the surrounding area. Residents described unusual screams and shrieks, one woman reported her door handle being rattled in the early hours, and another sighting involved a person moving around with a torch.

    Noah Donohoe Episode 1: The Search for Truth

    Noah Donohoe was 14 when he disappeared in Belfast in June 2020. Six days later, his body was recovered from a storm drain in North Belfast. In Episode 1 of Noah Donohoe: The Search for Truth, investigative journalist Donal MacIntyre and forensic physician Professor Jason Payne-James examine what the available forensic evidence can, and cannot, establish about the circumstances of Noah's death. They examine the condition in which Noah's body was found, the post-mortem conclusion of drowning, the absence of a water sample for comparison, documentation of the recovery scene and the injuries recorded on Noah's body. The episode also hears from Noah's family and from the funeral directors who prepared his body, as the series begins to examine the questions that remain around this case. Follow to listen to the full investigation.
