Jury selection entered its second day at Belfast Coroner's Court. A formal inquest will examine the death of Noah Donohoe. The 14-year-old schoolboy was found dead in a storm drain in June 2020, six days after he went missing while cycling to meet friends.
Mr Justice Rooney will preside over the proceedings. The case has attracted high public interest due to the unexplained circumstances surrounding the St Malachy's College student's death.
The disappearance
Noah went missing while cycling from his home in south Belfast. Witnesses saw him falling off his bike on the Shore Road shortly before his disappearance. People spotted him without clothes on.
Police believe Noah entered a storm drain in the Northwood Road area of north Belfast. His disappearance prompted a major search operation involving hundreds of people from across the city.
Campaign for answers
Noah's mother Fiona Donohoe has led a high-profile campaign seeking answers about her son's death. She hopes the coroner's case will address outstanding questions surrounding the circumstances of the tragedy.
