His friend, dubbed Boy A because neither of them can be identified, was also convicted of her murder following a lengthy trial the following year.
Boy B isn’t going to appeal his sentence. He’s now 18 but his identity will forever be protected because of his age at the time of Ana’s murder. He was in court today and addressed the judges to confirm his wish and said he understood the consequences of withdrawing his appeal.
