In 2019, Mr Justice McDermott sentenced Boy B to 15 years' detention with a review after eight years from the date of the offence. Boy B previously lodged an appeal against his conviction but withdrew it on the morning of his hearing in October 2022. The evidence showed that Boy B lured Ana from her home under the guise of a "romantic encounter" with Boy A. Boy B had provided builder's tape which was used during the strangulation of Ana and "voyeuristically watched as Boy A beat and sexually assaulted Ana Kriegel and took part in an extensive cover-up afterwards". The jury accepted the prosecution's case that Boy B lured Ana to the house by telling her that Boy A wanted to meet her, knowing that Boy A intended to kill her.
