Gardaí investigating Anastasia Kriegel murder await on forensic tests

Gardaí are waiting for forensic results on items removed from the scene where teenager Anastasia Kriegel was murdered to see if they were used in her death.

The Garda Technical Bureau gathered a number of potential weapons from the derelict house where the 14-year-old was found and are now conducting DNA and fingerprint tests on them.

Anastasia, also known as Ana, was found naked and with severe injuries, including to her head, by gardaí at disused farmhouses adjoining St Catherine’s Park in Lucan, west Dublin, at lunchtime on Thursday.
