Boy B dismisses lawyers; appeal against conviction for Ana Kriégel murder will not proceed today

One of the teenage boys found guilty of murdering schoolgirl, Ana Kriégel, has sacked his lawyers ahead of an appeal against his conviction which was due to take place today.

The 15-year-old, referred to in court as Boy B, was unanimously found guilty of murdering the “lonely and vulnerable” schoolgirl last June and was sentenced to 15 years detention, to be reviewed after eight years.
