A Dublin woman, who shared a photo on Facebook of the two boys who murdered Ana Kriègel, has received an 18-month prison sentence which was suspended in full.

Louise Heaney - a 49-year-old mother-of-three with an address in Killinarden Heights, Tallaght - sent the image to about 10 people through Facebook Messenger.

The court was satisfied that she was not the one who took the photograph, and that she did not appreciate the consequences of revealing their identities in such a way.

Last November, another woman received a fully suspended eight-month sentence for identifying one of the boys on her Facebook page.

The image was shared online after the boys, who were referred to in the media as 'Boy A' and 'Boy B', were found guilty of murdering Ana in May 2018.
