Summary

Boy B, one of two teenagers convicted of murdering 14‑year‑old Ana Kriegel, withdrew his appeal against his conviction, ending four years of criminal proceedings. The withdrawal was announced at a brief hearing attended by Ana's mother Geraldine and other family members. The Court of Appeal confirmed that Boy B had no appeal against his 15‑year sentence, which includes a review after eight years. Boy B was 13 when he lured Ana to a derelict house where his accomplice, Boy A, beat and sexually assaulted her. Both boys are now 18, but their names are protected by a court order. Boy A has not appealed his conviction or sentence, and no appeal has been lodged on his behalf. The withdrawal marks the end of the proceedings for Boy B.
