The jurors in the Ana Kriegel trial have heard from the parents of one of the two boys accused of murdering her.
Boy A also denies an aggravated sexual assault on the 14-year-old schoolgirl at a derelict farmhouse in Dublin last May.
It is the prosecution’s case that Boy A violently sexually assaulted and murdered Ana Kriegel after his friend, Boy B, allegedly lured her from her home in Leixlip, Co Kildare on the evening of May 14th last year.
Boy A’s father said his son returned home at around 6pm that day. He said he was “shaking and standing uncomfortably” and he noticed blood on his lip and clothes.
His mother said he was limping and was “very, very pale and shaking”.
He claimed he’d been attacked in a nearby park by two older youths.
A complaint was made and the Garda assigned to check CCTV footage from the park said he didn't see anyone who matched the descriptions of his alleged attackers.
When a DNA sample was later taken from him, the court heard he told gardaí that “Ana had put her hand across his shoulder and chest”.
She was still being treated as a missing person at the time. Her naked body was found in a derelict farmhouse in Lucan the following day.
