Content warning: This article mentions details of Noah Donohoe\u2019s case that some readers may find distressing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As reported<\/a> by The Canary<\/em>, 14-year-old Noah Donohoe disappeared on 21 June 2020. His body was found in a storm drain six days later. A post-mortem examination found<\/a> he died as a result of drowning. More than one year on, the Coroner\u2019s Office has found no evidence that anybody was involved<\/a> in his death.<\/p>\n

The circumstances around Noah’s death remain unclear as the investigation continues<\/a>. Meanwhile, his mother Fiona Donohoe suspects<\/a> foul play. So both Fiona and a campaign team are fighting to ensure Noah gets justice. Moreover, they’re calling<\/a> on the chief constable Simon Byrne to resign.<\/p>\n

Simon Byrne must “step down”<\/h5>\n

Earlier this month, Fiona started<\/a> a petition calling on the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s (PSNI) chief constable to resign. The petition states:<\/p>\n

I call for Simon Bryne to step down from his position as Chief Constable of PSNI. …<\/p>\n

I along with all those who have signed this petition do not have any faith in his capabilities to oversee the investigation into my son, Noah Donohoe’s death. …<\/p>\n

On countless occasions throughout this investigation myself, my family and everyone of those who have signed this petition have been let down by the PSNI’s handling of it.<\/p>\n

We want our children to feel safe on their streets and because of the little effort that has been attempted in investigating my son Noah’s death. We fear for our children’s safety.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the time of publication, the petition had over 8,500 signatures<\/a>. And supporters got right behind it, promising to lend even more support:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I promised you yesterday Fiona. I will take paper copies of this petition and go 4rm door 2 door collecting signatures. I have no issue with that. Your son is my son, he's my nephew, he's my grandson, he's my neighbours son!! They ALL need 2 feel safe, not forgotten! #NoahsArmy<\/a><\/p>\n
