One of the two boys convicted of the murder of teenager Ana Kriegel has lodged an appeal against his conviction.

Lawyers for Boy B, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have lodged papers with the Court of Appeal, the Courts Service has confirmed.

The 15-year-old’s appeal was expected as a court heard he did not accept the guilty verdict handed down by the jury.

He was sentenced to 15 years detention last month by Mr Justice Paul McDermott.

Appeal papers were lodged on November 26.

The other defendant in the case, known as Boy A, has not sought to appeal his conviction for murder.

They were both 13 when they murdered 14-year-old Ana at a disused farm house in Lucan, Co Dublin in May 2018.
