Blood pattern indicates Boy A either assaulted schoolgirl or was in ‘very close proximity’, says forensic scientist.
One of the two boys accused of murdering Ana Kriégel asked a garda “are you joking me” when he told the youth the girl’s blood was found on his boots, the Central Criminal Court has heard.
Det Garda Tomas Doyle told Gerardine Small BL, prosecuting, that he interviewed Boy A six times at Clondalkin Garda Station in the presence of the boy’s father and a solicitor.In the first interview Boy A’s solicitor put on record his objection to the fact that material he had sought from gardaí was not made available and he was therefore unable to properly advise Boy A and his family.
Det Garda Doyle then read a statement Boy A had previously made in which he said he was attacked by two men in the park on the same day that Ana went missing. He said he suffered injuries including to his arms, back and legs after being grabbed from behind, knocked to the ground and kicked. On another piece of CCTV footage taken nearby that evening, Boy A said he could see two males and added: “They look like the lads that beat me up on that day.”He asked gardaí to zoom in but they were unable to do so. Having viewed more footage he said: “That might be good news. I think that might be one of the males that beat me up. Is there any more footage?”
At 5.05pm they said a male with a backpack could be seen wearing gloves. Boy A said he could see that. They asked him if he thought they were the same person and he replied: “Do you think it’s the same backpack?”
