Ana Kriegel murder trial: Blood patterns indicate she was struck several times, court hears

Blood patterns in the room where 14-year-old Anastasia Kriegel's body was found indicate she was struck several times with a weapon while she lay on the floor, a blood spatter analyst has told the trial of the two boys accused of her murder.

Other blood stains indicated she was assaulted while upright and an area of blood staining on the carpet further suggests she lay bleeding on the ground for some time before being moved to the part of the room where she was found by gardaí three days after she was reported missing.
