Ana Kriegel. Ana Kriegel. CONTEMPT OF COURT proceedings against Facebook and Twitter, where the identities of the two boys who murdered schoolgirl Ana Kriegel were shared, have been struck out, despite the continuation of “alarming posts” online.
Under the Children Act 2001 and by order of the trial judge Mr Justice Paul McDermott, it is an offence to identify the two boys as they are both aged 15 and considered minors. The injunction stated that the social media giants must take down any photographs or posts identifying the boys which they “become aware of or which is brought to their attention”.At a brief hearing this morning, Grehan told Mr Justice White that the matter in which the court granted injunctions on 19 June had been mentioned a number of times before the court since then and was adjourned with the consent of the parties pending finalisation of sentence.
Having regard to that situation, Grehan said that it is agreed that the injunctions granted can be discharged and that the entire proceedings can be struck out with no further order required from the court. Following this, Niall Nolan BL for Boy A, told the court that there continues to be “alarming posts” online, one as recently as 13 November on Facebook, which have caused considerable distress to his client’s family.
Hang them both.

They'll be battered in prison.
