Court told of Boy B’s fresh legal moves over murder conviction

- ALISON ORIORDAN

ONE of the boys convicted of murdering schoolgirl Ana Kriegel is seeking to introduce fresh evidence at his upcoming appeal.

The youth also wants to challenge the admissibility of matters that weren’t challenged at trial, the Court of Appeal heard yesterday.

Brendan Grehan, SC for the Director of Public Prosecutions, told the court that the State had received the submissions on behalf of Boy B last week.

It is anticipated that the application to “enlarge grounds” and introduce fresh evidence would be opposed.

The 17-year-old was found guilty of murdering the “lonely and vulnerable” schoolgirl in June 2019 and was sentenced to 15 years detention, to be reviewed after eight years.
