One of the two boys found guilty of murdering Kildare schoolgirl Ana Kriègel will today appeal his conviction. 

Boy A and Boy B were convicted three years ago; Boy B, who is now 17-years-old, was sentenced to 15 years detention with a review after eight years. 

Boy A has not appealed his conviction or sentence.

Boy B is seeking to overturn his murder conviction and has employed a legal team; in July they were refused permission to introduce fresh expert evidence into the appeal. 

The hearing is due to begin at 10 o’clock this morning.
