Moville boy (14) died after taking family car on bog road

A HEARTBROKEN Inishowen mother has told an inquest how she found her 14-year-old son under a car after he took it for a drive while she was away swimming.
Evelyn Doherty relived the tragic moments when she found her “best friend” and eldest son, Jamie, dead on a bog road near Redcastle on 8 June, 2018 at his inquest at last week’s sitting of Letterkenny Coroner’s Court.
Evelyn and her other two sons had gone swimming at 3.25pm at the nearby Redcastle Hotel and she had arranged for Jamie to stay at her parent’s home at Clar, Redcastle.
The mother-of-three, from Moville, returned with her sons around 5.20pm but her son was not at her parent’s home.
