An inquest verdict at last - but many mysteries remain about Noah Donohoe's death Noah Donohoe inquest jury finds failings by department officials possibly contributed to death How the Noah Donohoe inquest came about after six years of delays The inquest began in January, five-and-a-half years after the death of the schoolboy and following numerous delays.
最后一个调查裁决--但诺亚*多诺霍的死还有很多谜团 诺亚*多诺霍调查陪审团发现部门官员的失误可能导致死亡 经过六年的拖延,诺亚*多诺霍的调查是如何发生的 这次调查始于1月份,在这位小学生去世五年半后,经过多次拖延。
Juries do not typically sit for inquests but can be summoned in certain circumstances.
陪审团通常不参加调查,但在某些情况下可以被传唤。
Noah's family had requested a jury be used, with a coroner, in 2022, agreeing that it was "desirable".
诺亚的家人在2022年要求使用陪审团和验尸官,同意这是"可取的"。
The jury deliberated for five days in total - first, for three days in June and July before the case was adjourned due to the holiday plans of some jurors; and then on Monday and Tuesday when it resumed.
陪审团总共审议了五天-首先,在6月和7月的三天,由于一些陪审员的假期计划,案件休庭之前;然后在周一和周二恢复时。
The nine members - seven men and two women - had 10 questions to answer and delivered a unanimous verdict, as required by the coroners' court.
根据验尸官法庭的要求,九名成员-七名男性和两名女性-有10个问题需要回答并作出一致裁决。
Those questions included asking the jury to summarise the scenario in which Noah's death occurred; to explain why he behaved how he did after he left the house; to say when and where he died; and whether the Department of Infrastructure's management of the tunnel or the PSNI's investigation contributed to his death.
这些问题包括要求陪审团总结诺亚死亡发生的情景;解释为什么他在离开房子后表现得如何;说出他死亡的时间和地点;以及基础设施部对隧道的管理或PSNI的调查是否促成了他的死亡。
In answering those findings, the jury found: That Noah died between 19:00 BST and midnight on 21 June 2020, the day he disappeared, in the lower reaches of a culvert That there was insufficient evidence to reach a conclusion as to explain why Noah behaved how he did when he left his home That it was possible, but not probable, that any error by the Department of Infrastructure in how it managed the tunnel contributed to his death That it was not possible any PSNI error contributed to his death But there were 13 failings related to the PSNI and DfI that impacted the inquest's ability to reach a conclusion on aspects relevant to his death The finding of the time period of Noah's death means that Noah could have died before his mother raised the alarm with the police at approximately 21.45 on 21 June 2020, or within an approximate two-hour period after he was reported missing.
在回答这些调查结果时,陪审团发现: 诺亚于英国夏令时19点至2020年6月21日午夜之间死亡,那天他失踪了,在一个涵洞的下游 没有足够的证据来解释挪亚离开家时的行为 这是可能的,但不是可能的,由基础设施部在它如何管理任何错误隧道促成了他的死亡 这是不可能的任何PSNI错误促成了他的死亡 但是有13个与PSNI和DfI有关的失败影响了研讯就与他的死亡相关的方面得出结论的能力 诺亚死亡的时间段的发现意味着诺亚可能在他的母亲在大约21.45向警方发出警报之前死亡在2020年6月21日,或在他被报告失踪后大约两小时内。
There was no indication at that stage of Noah's precise location, other than he had left his home off the Lower Ormeau Road to travel across the city to Cave Hill. The initial police searches that evening and night covered a wide area of Belfast based on the limed information available at that stage about Noah's intended journey from the south to the north of the city.
在诺亚的确切位置的那个阶段,没有任何迹象表明,除了他离开了他的家,离开了较低的奥尔莫路,穿越城市到洞穴山。 那天晚上和晚上最初的警察搜查复盖了贝尔法斯特的广泛地区,基于该阶段可用的关于诺亚打算从城市南部到北部的旅程的有限信息。
Noah's presence in the Northwood Road area was not known until the following day.

She added that both had "sought to blame Noah" to deflect from their own failings and that inquest had exposed "a culture of institutional defensiveness" at the heart of those public bodies.

她的律师尼尔*墨菲(Niall Murphy)说,"应该是一个基本的最低限度",该部门"防止儿童接触致命的涵洞",并且"当我们社会的一个孩子失踪时,PSNI会尽其所能找出发生在他
He said the jury's findings are as a result of Fiona Donohoe "tireless pursuit" of information.
他说,陪审团的调查结果是Fiona Donohoe对信息"不懈追求"的结果。
"It is completely wrong that when a mother has had to investigate her own son's disappearance and death, that is left to the PSNI and DfI alone, we would never have any answers at all."
"这是完全错误的,当一个母亲不得不调查她自己儿子的失踪和死亡,这是留给PSNI和DfI单独,我们永远不会有任何答案。"
