Ana Kriegel murder trial: Boy B told a 'fake story' in first interviews because he was nervous, court hears
ONE OF THE boys accused of Anastasia Kriegel’s murder told gardaí that he lied in his first interviews and said he made up a “fake story” because he couldn’t really remember what happened and was scared and nervous.
Boy A is further charged with the 14-year-old’s aggravated sexual assault in a manner that involved serious violence to her. He has pleaded not guilty to that count. Boy B said: “I’m going to retell the story of how it actually happened. What I told you yesterday was a lie.” He added: “I let Ana talk with [Boy A] for a while. I stayed back to let them have some privacy while they talked. While there they started walking up the road. I do not know what they said. A little bit later I got bored and left.”
Boy B said: “I suppose you want an explanation. The reason I told the fake story was because the first time I was with the guards on Tuesday I couldn’t really remember where I went so I made it up, some of it, and since I was scared and nervous I couldn’t really remember so I made it up and once I did remember I thought, I can’t go back, I already made a statement. So I kept to the story.”
He said: “So I suspected that was Ana and I walked up and said, ‘hi,’ but she didn’t say anything. So I walked a bit faster in front of her and that’s it. I walked home.”
