Boy A said 'are you joking me' when gardaí told him Ana Kriegel's blood found on his boots, court hears

When gardaí told one of the two boys accused of Ana Kriegel's murder that her blood was found on his boots he replied, "are you joking me" and asked: "Are you actually being serious about this?" the Central Criminal Court has heard.

Gardaí put it to the boy that the only way he could have Ana's blood on his boots was if he was in the room when she was assaulted and asked him if he was in that room. He replied: "No."
