Both boys accused of murdering Ana Kriegel lied to the gardaí investigating her disappearance in May last year, Brendan Grehan, prosecuting, said yesterday in his closing speech to the jury. He then helped in covering up by his lies to gardaí, Mr Grehan said. Mr Grehan explained to the jury that if a person knowingly helps somebody else in committing a crime, they are also guilty. Counsel told the jury that Boy A told gardaí that on the evening Ana went missing, he met Ana in the park and was surprised to see her. Mr Grehan described Boy B as “highly intelligent, articulate and composed.”He was, “not in the least bit” intimidated by his surroundings in the garda station, Mr Grehan said.
