The Blind Spots of Investigation: Lessons from the Donohoe Inquest The inquest into the death of Belfast teenager Noah Donohoe has shed a harsh light on institutional failures that can lead to tragedy.
The verdict of "no failings" by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is little comfort to Noah's family and loved ones, who have fought tirelessly for answers.
The investigation itself was marred by mistakes at every stage: CCTV evidence was mishandled, leads were ignored, and statements were taken too late or poorly recorded.
