Judge asks jurors to take into account age of boys accused of Anastasia Kriegel murder

The lawyer for a teenage boy, accused of the murder and aggravated sexual assault of Anastasia Kriegel, has said there was "not one pick of evidence" given by any witness in court that his client intended to kill the schoolgirl or anyone.

Patrick Gageby SC, defending Boy A, asked the jury in his closing speech today if there was “any solid or real evidence” in the case of his client’s intention to kill or his intention to kill Ana Kriegel. “Has any witness from the witness box given evidence that [Boy A] ever said he wanted to kill anyone or Ana,” Mr Gageby asked.
