Her murder trial is continuing.
Ana Kriegel’s murder trial has heard her clothes were strewn across the room of the derelict building where her body was found in Dublin last May.
Two teenage boys stand accused of murdering the 14-year-old schoolgirl, while one of them is also on trial for an alleged violent sexual assault.
She was reported missing at 9pm on May 14th last, just a few hours after one of the boys called for her at her home in Leixlip, Co. Kildare.
It is the prosecution’s case that this boy, known as BOY B, lured her to his friend and co-accused, BOY A, knowing what was in store for her. He denies her murder.
BOY A has also pleaded not guilty to the charge and denies a further charge of aggravated sexual assault.
Today, the jurors have been hearing about the discovery of Ana’s body at a derelict farmhouse in Lucan three days after she went missing.
Sergeant Declan Birchall told the jurors her naked body was found lying on the floor of a small room.
He said three of her fingers were inside a ligature around her neck.
“She appeared to be pulling it away from her,” he added.
Her clothes and broken phone were found in various parts of the room as well as a blood-stained piece of timber and concrete block.
The trial continues tomorrow.
