Boy B’s appeal against his conviction for the murder of Ana Kriegel will be heard on April 24th.

He was one of two teenage boys found guilty of murdering the 14-year-old schoolgirl at a derelict farmhouse in Dublin in May 2018.

The now 15-year-old was found to have lured Ana from her home in Leixlip to the farmhouse where his friend Boy A was waiting for her.

Boy B's appeal relates to just his conviction.

No appeal was made in relation to his sentence of fifteen years detention, which is to be reviewed in eight years.
