Ana Kriegel murder - Her parents will suffer for longer

Whatever sentence the two 15-year-old boys will receive for the murder of 14-year-old Ana Kriegel in Dublin in May last year, it is unlikely to match the misery and loss and pain that will be suffered by her parents.

In her powerful and moving victim impact statement read out at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin on Tuesday, Ana’s mother, Geraldine, said life without Ana was not even an existence, but a misery they must endure for the rest of their lives.
