Ten people due in court linked to online identification of boy who killed Ana Kriegel

Ten people are due in court this morning as part of the investigation into the identification of one of the teenage boys who killed Ana Kriegel.

It’s part of an ongoing investigation into the circulation of images on social media by people claiming to identify one of the 14-year-old boys.

Boy A and Boy B, who were found guilty of murdering the Kildare schoolgirl, can’t be named because of their age.

Six men and four women, aged between 21 and 48, are due in court in Dublin this morning.

One person has already appeared in court as part of the investigation.

Last week a Waterford woman was charged in connection with the identification on social media of the teenage defendants in the Ana Kriégel trial.

A court order was in place preventing the 14-year-old boys being named under the Children Act which prohibits the identification of minors accused or convicted of a criminal offence.

She was the first person to face prosecution following a lengthy Garda investigation.

The case was adjourned until December 10th.
