About this episode

The episode discusses the murder of Ana Kriegel and the implications of her case involving the youngest convicted murderers in Ireland.

In May 2018,14-year-old Ana Kriegel was reported missing by her parents to the Gardai. After an intensive three-day search, her battered and naked body was found in a derelict farmhouse, a short walk from her home in Lucan, West Dublin. Thirteen months later, two 14-year-old boys, only ever known as Boy A and Boy B, were found guilty of Ana's murder. They remain the youngest people in Ireland to have ever been convicted of murder. Jenny Friel speaks with Crime World's Caoimhe Young about what could have led these children to commit such a heinous crime. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
