The friends also described how the 14-year-old was “never nasty, always kind” and “everyone respected him”.<\/p>\n

Curran also recounted how she had been told that Noah gave \u00a35 to a person who was begging on the street the day before the schoolboy disappeared.<\/p>\n
The witness had also been told that Noah did not want to be in a relationship because he wanted to have a job first.<\/p>\n
