A Central Criminal Court judge has adjourned sentencing until October for the two boys convicted of murdering 14-year-old schoolgirl Anastasia Kriegel as he awaits psychiatric reports. Boy A was also convicted of Ana's aggravated sexual assault in a manner that involved serious violence to her. Mr Justice Paul McDermott today said reports will be drawn up by two teams of psychiatrists in relation to the boys. Without those reports the judge said he felt it would be "inappropriate" to proceed with a sentence hearing. Justice McDermott adjourned sentencing until October 29 and ordered that all relevant reports be made available to the legal teams by October 21.
