Boy B wants to introduce new evidence in Kriegel murder appeal, court hears
Summary
Boy B, now 17, seeks to introduce fresh evidence and amend grounds of appeal in his murder case. The Court of Appeal heard that the State, represented by Brendan Grehan SC, expects to oppose the application to enlarge grounds and present new evidence. Boy B was convicted with Boy A, both 13 at the time, of murdering 14‑year‑old Ana Kriegel in May 2018. He received a 15‑year sentence, reviewable after eight years, and is currently detained at Oberstown Children Detention Campus. The appeal focuses solely on the conviction, not the sentence. The motion to add new grounds and evidence will be scheduled for hearing, with the case listed for June 17. Boy A has not lodged an appeal. The court will decide whether to address the motion separately or together with the substantive hearing. Boy B's appeal will not challenge the severity of his sentence.
