The Noah Donohoe inquest has been hearing evidence from Daryl Paul – the man convicted of stealing the teenager’s rucksack.   It had earlier heard in evidence from Maria Nolan that claims the teenager had been attacked were based on “rumour and speculation”.  Earlier this week, the inquest heard that PSNI officers searching for Noah “never” thought they would find the schoolboy in the storm drain tunnel where his naked body was eventually discovered.  

Liam Tunney is covering the inquest for the Belfast Telegraph.
