Ana Kriégel was lured to her violent death by two best friends, one of whom violently sexually assaulted her before killing her, it is alleged.
The trial at the Central Criminal Court is expected to last up to six weeks.
Ms Kriégel was last seen at 5pm that day when she left her house in the company of Boy B and was also seen in a nearby park with this boy. The gardaí went to Boy B’s address where they spoke to him and his mother. Boy B gave many different accounts to gardaí, counsel said. He first told gardaí he called for Ms Kriégel earlier then went to the park where he had last seen her.Over the following days the search intensified and gardaí followed up alleged sightings in places such as Dundrum and Dublin Airport.
Gardaí then contacted Boy A who gave a different account. “Divergences began to emerge,” counsel said. The case against him relies on the lies he told about his movements and “compelling, coercive” forensic DNA evidence. He said Boy B sourced the builders tape and “voyeuristically” watched what happened to Ms Kriégel. He also helped in the cover-up by lying to gardaí, counsel said.
