Anna, 14, suffered serious assault before death

Detectives were last night seeking to speak to a number of people who are thought to have been with a teenage girl who was subsequently subjected to a violent death.

The remains of 14-year-old Anastasia (Anna) Kriegel were discovered at disused farmhouses in Lucan, west Dublin, almost three days after her family reported her missing.

It is understood that the schoolgirl had been found naked and appeared to have suffered a serious physical assault including injuries to her head.
