Episode 378: James 'Nellie' Walsh's feud with Kinahan lieutenant Peadar Keating

The jury in the inquest into the death of Noah Donohoe has found that the teenager died on the night of his disappearance, meaning that the PSNI’s response to his disappearance did not contribute to his death.   However, the jury did find that police failings impacted on their ability to come to a conclusion in the inquest and found that the Department of Infrastructure “erred” in its management of the culvert in which the teenager died.   But it also found that it was not probable that the Department’s management of the culvert more than minimally contributed to Noah’s death.   They were unable to explain Noah’s behaviour on the day he went missing because the evidence was insufficient to enable them to reach a conclusion.    14-year-old Noah’s body was discovered in north Belfast six days after he went missing as he cycled to meet friends.   Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Belfast Telegraph’s Liam Tunney, who has been in court throughout the inquest.  Hosted on Acast.
