Noah Donohoe: Court hears all evidence in Belfast boy’s inquest

New evidence was presented from three members of a family who previously told the inquest that they were not responsible for the memorialisation of Noah Donohoe’s Instagram account a day after his body was found in June 2020.

It meant that Noah’s mother, Fiona, was unable to gain access to her son’s account following his death.

It included an incorrect number and ended in ‘.con’ instead of ‘.com’.

During Monday’s hearing, it emerged that the family’s email account was also used around the same time to memorialise the Instagram account of another person who died some months before Noah.

In new written statements to the inquest, a mother, son and daughter all said they were unaware that their family account had been used to memorialise a second person’s Instagram account.

The family members told the inquest they did not know the other person, whose Instagram account was closed through their family email.

They also confirmed they did not make any such request to Meta.

The mother said; “I am baffled by this”.

The jury in the case is on stand-by to return to the hearing on Tuesday, pending the outcome of the ongoing legal discourse.
