Garda tells court of finding noose made from blue tape wrapped around Ana Kriegel's neck

Ana Kriegel’s murder trial has been hearing evidence about the discovery of the schoolgirl’s body in a derelict farmhouse last May.

Schoolgirl Anastasia Kriegel had a noose made from blue tape wrapped around her neck and appeared to be trying to pull it away, the garda who discovered her body has told the Central Criminal Court trial of the two boys accused of her murder.

A doctor who formally pronounced the 14-year-old Kildare schoolgirl dead said she may have been pulled or dragged by the material around her neck.
