Hazel Fitzpatrick, of Easton Green, Easton Road, Leixlip, Co Kildare, admitted posting a photo of BOY A on her Facebook page in June 2019.

A 25-year-old woman has admitted posting a photo online of one of the boys convicted of murdering Ana Kriégel.

Hazel Fitzpatrick, of Easton Green, Easton Road, Leixlip, Co Kildare, will be sentenced in November.

Our Courts Correspondent Frank Greaney reports:

"On May 14th 2018, a 13yo boy lured Ana Kriégel from her home in Leixlip, Co Kildare to a derelict farmhouse in Lucan, Co Dublin, where his friend, who was also 13yo, was waiting to kill her.

Just over one year later, they became the youngest convicted murderers in the history of the State.

Because of their ages, their identities will be forever protected by law.

During the trial, the boy who lured her to her death was referred to as BOY B by the media. The boy who beat her to death became known as BOY A.

Today, Hazel Fitzpatrick admitted posting a photo of BOY A on her Facebook page on or about June 19th 2019 - the day after they were found guilty.

Her sentence hearing is due to take place in November."
