The fact that not only are their identities being hidden but they'll also get new identities when they're released makes me sick. They are basically getting away with murder.
They will probably do it again. Pure evil!
How are they getting away with murder? They're going to have at *least* twelve and eight years in prison, longer if they continue to say they didn't do it.
It's worth remembering that they were thirteen years-old when they committed the crime. They were scarcely more than children and should be afforded some latitude. Yes, it was a horrific crime but nothing can be done to reverse it now; not revenge, not anything.
RIP Ana
@@jaredburgess8381 This was an adult level crime. Planned, researched, and executed with extreme cruelty.
Boy A, at least, should never see the light of day outside prison.
Agreed...I hope they will at least, keep Boy A as a registered sex offender under his new identity!!!
AGREED 💯
I can see keeping the children’s names anonymous until they are convicted. But as soon as they are found guilty, their names should be plastered everywhere for everyone to see. People need to be informed about dangerous criminals regardless of their age. These boys will return to society at some point and they do not deserve anonymity.
I strongly agree with you. Identity should be released as both,warning to the public and to ashame the criminals.
And i believe, heavy crime, only heavy crime should treat equally to teenager. Teenager are capable doing crime.
Agreed! At the very least once they are of age then their identities should be revealed. I’m from the US and hearing these short sentences plus getting new identities seems like rolling out a welcome mat to reoffend and trap some other innocent victim.
That's part of the progress. You commit the crime, you get punished and afterwards you paid your debt to society and can live your life like an innocent person (mostly).
I personally don't agree with that approach, but it is what they're going for. Might lower the chance of people reoffending, but the society has to take a risk for it.
I agree!
Age 23 and 26, they can pretty much attend college with their shiny new identities, and start their careers like nothing has happened. How's this fair to that young child that lost her life?
disgusting to keep their identities hidden too, imagine marrying a man not knowing he’d committed this horrible crime
@@sophiebarclay7300they treated her as nothing, not human, expendable, just rubbish. A lonely kid with no friends. Someone to bully and abuse. So sad.
@@HelynHughes yup, it was all a game to them
It doesnt matter if they are underaged or not. A muderer is a murderer. They dont deserve a single bit of privacy
Ikr. If anything i say it is scarier. Cause if they can do that as a kid. Imagine what they can do as an adult yea?
Yes, I totally agree with you.
Interesting. Wonder what a muderer is.
Agreed. If they are old enough to watch Porn and murder someone they are should be names and faces shown.
@@orinorio1 Both of their identitys are out there and relatively easy to find. They are gonna have to either emigrate or get extreme plastic surgery on release...
So Boy A and B were left out of the courtroom during the forensic part, re autopsy etc. because of the graphic nature of the pictures yet it was allegedly those same boys that caused those graphic injuries. That doesn't make sense.
I completely agree. Capable of inflicting such damage but not capable of hearing about it? Insane.
I think it's BS . They're there it's nothing they have not seen before.
💯 agreed
I think the presumption of innocence might have had something to do with that.
Get a clue imbeciles. They are removed just as other killers are removed and for the exact same reason.
Wake the F up, work it out, and stop your whining.
OMG the comments are full of snowflakes that have no bloody idea.
The boys were excused from hearing the graphic details of their own crime??? Ridiculous!
I could maybe understand boy b because he didn't directly kill her and rape he just let her into the Trap but Boy A who actually mudered and rape her should sit there looking the parents in the eye for anamalistic crimes he comitted.
The case for intentionally or needlessly causing stress to the child, would be played. I know the irony is strong, yet as you're aware, the whole system stinks. How can they be allowed anonymity after such crimes!?
Right.
I agree it was quite ironic,Boy B set it up and Watched,yet his father said he was sexually Immature,but his Phone also had Dark searches,porn etc..Guilty but not as Brave ...let's hope something can be done to rehab...them.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622he already watched it happen, I’m quite sure he won’t be harmed by hearing it described. They should both be present so the jury can see their expressions and body language and just how cold and heartless these two animals are.
This hurts my soul to the core. Those boys should be identified, just like that other case! How dare they keep them safe when Ana's life was taken away in the cruelest way possible. Honestly, when I heard boy A was assaulted in my head I was like "how does it feel?"
Agreed. They don't deserve special treatment or kindness. Did they show Ana compassion? NO!!!
They deserve life at least in a correction facility until they can be transferred to Prison.
One note I did not see, Patric Kriégel passed away in June 2022, 4 years after his daughter was murdered. Tragedy begets tragedy. I hope Ana’s face was the first face he saw. My condolences to Geraldine who has lost not only her daughter, but her partner in love and in loss. Like a heart could break any more. Absolutely guts me to think of it. 💔
Ana's story makes me feel so sad. I am almost in tears. I am sure she is in Heaven now, together with her loving father. They will be watching over Geraldine.
@Sparklecunt That's so sad 😔 ..yes this tragedy has far reaching consequences.. If Adults ,being Premeditated,planned with precision,in other countries it would be have a DPenalty hearing.Think on that.
Is this really accountability?? The boys were "excused" from the court room while the Dr described the autopsy and the brutal injuries that Ana had suffered at boy A's hands? Why should he be excused? He was the one who inflicted such pain the very LEAST he could do was sit through and face what he had done!!! He could be out in 20 odd years with a new identity, I feel sick to my stomach this does not feel like justice AT ALL!!! Thank-you for another terrific upload, Mia & Alice, remarkable work as always, truly appreciated!! I wish you a very happy new year 2022 xxx
That infuriates me. But in the end, they were found guilty nonetheless. Justice served. Although boy B in my opinion should have been found guilty of failure to assist, and secondary manslaughter. But maybe we don’t know everything and all the evidence which could’ve shown that boy B was way more involved than what is publicly known.
Totally agree. And the boys dismissed from seeing autopsy/injury photos? My jaw hit the floor. WHY, their tender little minds couldn't handle it??? WTAF!!! Boy A DID those injuries to poor Ana!!! He should've been MADE to as reminder the terrible he did! Even her poor parents endured them. Yet they're excused like privileged rich kids? I do not understand this. One is her MURDERER, & the other stood by doing nothing when he was her last hope.
The hair-brained leniency continued into sentencing. For Boy A the time does not fit the crime! The judge adds insult to injury saying they've a chance to get out while still young men & continue on w/their lives. Unbelievable. I found this very disrespectful like "OK, that was bad let's move on to your brighter futures". A slap in the face to Ana & her parents. It devalues her life they ultimately took.
There is clearly something fundamentally wrong w/Boy A, having strong desire to kill at that age then making matters worse sexually getting off on it!? Mark my word even if he serves full term there WILL be future problems from this person. He should've gotten at least 50 yrs no parole. At least then either he won't be as physically capable of repeating this heinous crime, or at least odds increase he'll die some sort of karma in prison before release(trying to be optimistic here!).
This story was so heartbreaking & really hits you in the end. Major credit to the creators of the channel, they couldn't have done a better job piecing this complex story together. Am sure I wasn't the only one on pins & needles over the wknd anxious for the rest of what happened.
@@katmanluke7187 Boy A will be given a new identity and he will continue killing, as soon as he’s out of prison.
@@lowrider81hd I agree with you. A child, already finding a predilection for this type of crime, IMO cannot be rehabilitated. I think he will play the system for release and offend again.
You right . That was wired
Born into this world only to be abandoned by her parents and lived a life bullied by her peers. Then taken away in a horrible way by those animals. RIP Ana. These killers should be named and shamed. We’ll never know who we meet on the streets.
She did have loving parents though. Her adoption seemed a lucky one with parents truly dedicated to making her life wonderful. It’s such a shame what happened to this poor child.
Completely agree.
@ho lee fuk good. I hope everyone knows what they did. Perhaps they should be assaulted in jail again, and again, and again, until they feel the way they made Ana feel.
An eye for an eye does not make the whole world blind, it only gives one a slightly different view.
Animals wouldn't do this. They are monsters.
@ho lee fuk I'm sure everyone had that thought, "it could have been my child". In my opinion, the courts were too easy and lenient on these boys. Both of them lying again and again proves they completely understood right from wrong. Taking a life is the ultimate crime. That person will never come back, Ana will never be able to return to her parents and live out the life she wanted, so why should they?
I'm one of those people who believe if you murder someone, not including self-defense, you should be imprisoned, for life. Why should you get a 2nd chance when the person you killed can never have that opportunity.
13 FN years old?! It boggles the mind to know the evil they had. May her parents be comforted by the beautiful memories of their daughter. Condolences to both her family and friends.
And at 13, not just watching P 0 r N, but very graphic, violent and torturous stuff.
I’m in shock. I’m from the USA and they name children that murder here and they aren’t given new identities when released either. I am so sad for her family. They showed so much grace and strength.
OK - not as if the US is some beacon of fair sentencing, but I agree with you in that they should be named and not given new identities.
@@sonjaheck3156 USA sentencing is much more just than here in Canada where rapists get a slap on the wrist and murderers may walk the streets after 15 years.
My country’s law, I’ve watched documentaries about how everywhere else plasts their names but yet Ireland is so behind on everything… if you ever come here don’t depend on justice system because they will Abandon you just as they did to Anna.
@@sonjaheck3156 what’s wrong with U.S. sentencing?
Just look at the crime rate in comparison- US to other countries, maybe thats a hint, of a far worse system.
Boy B is as worrying to me as boy A.
He lured Ana to her death. Supplied the masking tape and had an excuse ready. Had his DNA on a bloodied stick and had an excuse that he dropped it after picking it up but didn't use it. The guards wanted all 16 hours of interviews with him shown because of how calm and calculated he was. They deemed him highly manipulative. When he was questioned by the guards on the evening, just hours after he "witnessed" a brutal and bloody murder and sexyal assault he was calm and a believable liar.
It reminds me so much of the Jamie Bulger case. The police focused in on Thompson as the instigator at the time, because he was outwardly colder, even commenting on his dead eyes etc, and treated Venables more softly because he was more innocent looking and more childlike. It was Venables who reoffended on release and needed two additional identities because he bragged about who he was. While A is certainly guilty, there's something about boy B that's deeply troubling also IMO
Agreed. High praise for the jurors as they really applied excellent critical thinking in his (Boy B) verdict.
I wonder if the reason they are offering new ID's is that when they come of age, their identities will be released. Otherwise, why new identity?
These laws focus way too much on "rehabilitation". What about straight up punishment?? As they said in the video, you clearly know right from wrong by age 12. Both boys should get life in prison. Too bad, so sad. Society will function just fine without them! They weren't even remorseful.
Agreed!
This is a very fair point..it is hard to tell sho the mastermind was as they seemingly both played active roles..two personalities that are destructively brutal together and as individuals as well..
id take them out if it was my daughter , no matter if i did life , id be waiting for them to come out , change their name but id have photos and know where their family lived. and even offer commissary money to have them roughed up weekly inside
I don’t understand why young killers were excused from court when Ana’s injuries were described - they should be listening!
Right?! They're the ones that caused it!! X
Exactly! They should have to SEE what they’ve done. They should be made to sit there and accept their crimes.
EXACTLY THEY ARE THE ONES WHO DID IT!!!
Because it was during the trial and at that point they were still considered innocent.
@@chiklitz maybe that but also, at least Boy A may have been excited by the details; maybe even enjoyed reliving it.
Those sentences are a slap on the wrist. Shameful and criminal. AND they have NO right to new identities.
God the last half of this video got me. So choked up and teary eyed seeing how strong Ana's parents were, how they can smile at her memorial after having to identify her body and sit in the court and hear the details of her death. You can really see how much they loved and adored Ana, so you can only believe they raised her to be an amazing girl. Heartbreaking.
The judge needs to lift the bans that keep them from revealing their names. It’s sad that we know so much sensitive details about Ana’s life but these boys who killed someone get complete anonymity and privacy.
And excusing them from the autopsy portion of the trial??? These monsters should have had to witness their handy work. They weren't going to be bothered by it at all. Look what they did.....Id have had them taped head forward and eyes taped open so as not to miss anything!!
People in Ireland know who they are.
Wait really?
I live 15 minutes from where this all happened
Good point. To add to that as well, if the public doesn't know who they are when they get out, how can people feel safe if there are two convicted murderers roaming around with new names? What if they commit a similar crime and it may have been prevented because they weren't " known". I wouldn't want my son or daughter hanging around someone who murdered a person when they were 13! They deserve any justice, harassment or bullying when they get out. They took a life.
I will never understand how they protect the identities of kids who have done heinous and brutal crimes. They shouldn't be protected nor should they be allowed new identities. This was no accident or a impulsive action. This was in Boy A's mind for a long time, he clearly fantasised about hurting Ana. Once he found out she actually liked him, he striked. Got Boy B to go and knock for Ana so he wouldn't be a prime suspect for her disappearance, because he knew she wasn't going home once she was in his presence. Taking advantage of her affections, probably agreeing to be her boyfriend and then said he wants to take her somewhere / show her something and lured her to her death in that abandoned place.
To me this type of crime and the brutality of it, there is no hope nor any redemption for such a person that committed the crime. He should be locked up indefinitely, the thought of his identity being protected and getting out to then having a whole new identity provided "for a fresh start" is absolutely nightmarish. Something needs to change.
And how boy a's dad directed the garda in the wrong direction and his outburst in court was so disgusting. Was just awful it was so awful trying to get your teen understand what was going on teachers where amazing though.
Yeah, we don’t do that here in the U.S. w/ such horrific crimes perpetrated by minors. Rape & murder are on another level even in adolescence. It’s a sign of worse crimes to come as they get older. Like when kids start torturing animals. It’s always a big red flag.
Similar thing happened in my city Medicine Hat. A 13 yr old girl killed her whole family with the help of her bf Jeremy Steinke. She's already out and working as a school teacher on a degree earned at the University of Calgary using our tax dollars. Being liberal and progressive is for the nieve. Time to start actually making criminals pay for their actions.
I don't understand how it's constitutional to put gag orders on regular citizens. Anyone in the community who knew these boys should not have to face any bullshit legal repercussions for naming and shaming them, or sharing a picture they may have taken on their phone of them. Gag orders on law enforcement and the media I understand, but you absolutely should not be able to stop people who knew them in the community from talking about them on any forum they choose to.
These children of satan shud be lit afire while alive...its quite naive to think that they can be reformed...injustice system failure again
My God this is horrific, I'm a 30s Canadian male who is also adopted. I've been to Dublin and feel terrible because I've never heard of this case. That poor girl, so beautiful and sounds like a great family. Bullying is absolutely disgusting and makes me sick. But what happened to this young lady is horrific. May she Rest in Peace, and my condolences and Respects to her family 🙏
"I hope to have a good life." That last line written by Ana brought me to tears. 😢😢
Her parents were super strong throughout the entire ordeal (from the time she went missing, to their final victim impact statement). My heart goes out to Ana and her family.
What really pissed me off about this whole thing is both murderous boys' identities being withheld. I hate how the justice system protects killer kids! If they're "grown" enough to plan and carry out such horrendous crimes, then they're grown enough to have their names and faces revealed to the public, and should NOT be allowed to be given new identities! I hope those two thugs NEVER get released from prison!
The killers’ identities should have been revealed. And they deserved longer sentences.
Definitely, if not as minors but once they’re adults they should be named.
@AJCC AJCC I’m asking if the parents were Garda
@AJCC AJCC that may well be the case but whether he was a teenager or not he knew right from wrong which was clearly shown so he is guilty anyway of not going for help and reporting it. In America if you were present but didn’t actually commit the crime then your still charged as if you had done meaning you are as guilty. We need to get harder and life is life.
totally agree murder is murder they understood this
@@DrDolittle744 Agree 💯 I’m sick of hearing about poor Boy B being manipulated. He knew what was going to happen, he brought that sweet, innocent girl to her death, watched at least some of it, didn’t do anything to help and lied to cover his rotten tracks. They should have locked these two in a pit and threw away the key.
They killed this poor girl in a horrific way and could possibly be released when they are in their 20’s? Absolutely insane!!!
Since they were minors when they comitted the crimes, they'll probably get new identities when they get out as well
I completely agree. It's disappointing and disgusting that 12 years at the minimum is all that Ana's life is worth.
@@user-nx4gq6ye5q Yep.
And no one will know who they are or what they did....I mean until they do it again that is. Good luck, Ireland. Those two will be out there hiding in any neighborhood they want.
I agree it's wrong. However boy A currently still doesn't admit to the sexual assault, he's not taking full responsibility which means until he does, they most likely won't let him out. What a terrible event ultimately.
It's outrageous how they go to such length to ensure the comfort and protection of murderers. Excuse them from the courtroom while the outcome of their own actions is presented??
This was terribly distressing and emotional to watch, even to me - a "jaded" true crime watcher for over 30 years. I can't imagine how painful it was to be immersed in the story as a content creator, spending untold hours reading and writing and editing the narrative. You did a beautiful job, making a lovely and touching tribute to Ana's precious life. Her parents would truly approve of your retelling of her story. Thank you.
My heart breaks for Ana as well as the elderly couple. Those two boys not only destroyed Anna's life but also the lives and hopes of the senior couple. No one should have to go through what they went through. And to think that these boys will rejoin their families in their mid 20s infuriates me to my core.
I feel the same. Also do not forget her sister and birth family that wanted to reunite with her.
Senior couples? Her parents!!
@@G-Star-Raw
Yes, this reference bothered me too.
Elderly couple really they are not that old
I think for most countries they would be seen as old parents. I think in Ireland parents have children later into their lives it seems, so it probably is more normal there.
The murdering boys should have had to sit through the detailed list of her injuries, which led to her death. Ridiculous decision by the judge. B knew exactly what was going to happen before he knocked on her door and led her to the other murderer. Brilliantly done Truly Criminal. Cheers.
I can not believe they didn't make them face the horror of what they had done
I suspect many of these decisions are made so as not to give the defence fodder for future appeals.
Not in this case but with some they’ll do it because the children on trial may not be guilty so that would be traumatic for them. Boy B didn’t witness the actual murder so subjecting him to the graphic information could be used against the court with an appeal.
Yeah, I thought that too!! Then I thought about other psychopathic killers like Boy A & thought…… he probably would’ve enjoyed reliving it & seeing his handy work. I guess all we can hope for is that some day a fellow inmate can reenact it on Boy A.
Presumption of innocence. They were not yet convicted. This would have been cruel if they had eventually been found not guilty.
Sent from the court room when they were recounting all her injuries? Are they for real? They committed the crime, they murdered Ana, and yet they were treated like they were the victims.... No!
This story was one of the saddest I’ve ever heard… such a beautiful and joyful young girl. The only solace is that Ana had a family who loved her with all their hearts for her 14 short years of life. RIP Ana 💕 Blessings to her beautiful parents 🙏
I think it’s wrong that they don’t name them. A person, whether a child or an adult knows right from wrong,should be named, so sad, R.I.P Ana 🌹
New identities when released anyway, may aswell name them.
@@michaelgregory3452 That’s so correct. Name the monsters, like they did to the James Bulger killers. If they are going to be given new identities.
Their names, home addresses and pictures should be displayed everywhere for people to be beware of them.
I hope they end up worse
@@gloriaambrose2840
How about we go back to Tarring and feathering ???
Jesus wept! The reason they need new identifies is because of vengeful people who would prejudice them at best and attack/murder them at worst!!
@DNA Electronics not the same as tarring and feathering, mate. If they are this fucked up in the head to happily murder someone as a child, there is no therapy in the world that would make them functioning, non-dangerous adults. People should know they might live next to a murderer, even if the murderer was a child at the time.
This sickened me so much. The fact these boys can get out in their late 20’s is horrendous. RIP Ana, forever young.
By then, hopefully it’ll be more known, and their identities will be known as well. Their torture will just be starting. At least in prison, they’re “safe”.
Early twenties for Boy B even.
Prison is no joke. The other prisoners must do what needs to be done in there.
@@jodilynn9514 Their identitys are known and relatively easy to find. They will have to move to another country or get extreme plastic surgery on release.
@@custardgannet4836 also, I’m sure it would have been pretty obvious. The boys just suddenly not in school, at the park or just ANYWHERE? Right after this rape and murder? That would be a crazy coincidence that I’d definitely be giving the side-eye.
I just can't comprehend kids this young can do something like this... It's absolutely sickening and so, 𝘴𝘰 frightening.
R.I.P Anna 🕊
All the love to her family ❤
Crying like a baby tonight upon listening to Ana s story. I am French and have adopted a little blond girl and her brother. I feel so much pain for her parents and her family, Ana was a beautiful young girl. I am sending my love to her and her parents, from Canada.
Shame on the defendant's father for his response to the guilty verdict! No wonder his kid has a problem with accepting responsibility for his involvement! He has a long way to go to become a caring human being. Thank you for your coverage on this case.
Oh you are full of it,. “Becominga caring human being…” How deviant and calculated you are…I can see..Your agenda
What, because he got emotional?!
@@vekuis which is?
@@aureol40012 How "Emotional" was he for her when the brutality of what was done to her was on full display?...
@@tapoemt3995 not very I imagine, he wasn’t related to her 🤷♂️
It makes me SICK to hear what a LIGHT sentence the killer boys got!!
Anna does NOT get the opportunity to have her life back.....but the evil boys do?!
Rest in paradise Anna ❤️.
And to do something this vicious at 13 says to me they will be forever dangerous.
@@ArtfullyMusingLaura Exactly. No Justice. Disgusting.
Pretty regular for Britain, including Ireland and Australia. I don’t know about Scotland.
But Boy A got a life term? With the possibility of getting out after 12 years? I don't think that means he absolutely will, though. Does that happen a lot in Britain? Letting them out at their minimum time? I wonder how many times that has happened and the convict killed again?
@@melaniecarver5719 yes it does, life doesn’t mean life here unfortunately. Cases like this should mean lifelong imprisonment but sadly they don’t
Wait,so during the trial when they went over the autopsy and all the things that had been done to Anna the little monster were excused from the court room sure to the graphic nature?! Are you kidding me
Right? It’s absolutely infuriating. They were the cause of what was done to her. They should have been forced to listen in graphing detail to the harm they caused her. It makes me sick.
That’s SUCH crap about not revealing the boys’ identities! AND they have option for release PLUS new identities?! SHAMEFUL.
"he had lied to protect himself". Wow, thanks to the expert for those expert findings
This video made me cry. She was so young. Her killers should never be released back into society.
And even sadder to think they live great lives in the prison now, Irish prison systems are notoriously easy going and especially childrens detention centers, it's almost like no punishment
We the ordinary people of Ireland can get a jail sentence if anyone reveals their names. I don't know who they are but people living near them do
@@aoifemartin2095 They are not in prison Aoife they are in a young offenders place where they will get first class education. I wonder if they will go into prison when they are 18 . I don't think they will do you
@@marshnn you are right but it is still classed as a prison, a juvenile detention centre
This is the first time a crime documentary makes me cry. "I hope I have a good life." - What a powerful end of this documentary and what a poignant statement given Ana's short life that ended with so much cruelty. I hope you have a good life in Heaven, Ana! Rest in Peace.
This was definitely the hardest case on this channel for me to watch. She went through so much just as a kid and all she wanted was a good life. For her life to get better… and she couldn’t even have that.
So basically if you’re a minor you can pretty much get away with murder! It’s absolutely ridiculous! RIP sweet girl! Praying for peace and healing during this difficult time 🙏🏻♥️
In this country yes
Poor beautiful sweet child. Prayers for her family such a horrific loss✝️
Right 😡 ??? I keep seeing these with not only teens but adults getting out of jail early, reduced sentences and stupid life sentences with possible parole anywhere from 7, 17, 25 ?? ! This is after history of violence and rape and finally a conviction for murder.. This has to stop ..! And no longer sitting on death row for 5, 10, 15 years... Ugh I gotta stop, help us Jesus..! I pray for grace, mercy and peace for this world, especially victims and their families...
@Dog can you cite these claims you’re making? 2 million for a new identity?
@Dog I see it’s more likely the police protection that’s causing it to be so expensive.
How can any parent protect their children and not let them tell the truth when they have done something as horrendous as this?
Some parents breed monsters and enable their evil actions that’s why they can’t change their ways
A child is a separate being from their parents, if they won’t tell you they lied or stole then you can’t make them admit to a horrendous crime. Neither boys went home and told their parents what happened. They knew it was wrong, they knew it was criminal but without any thought of repercussions which is the mind of a child or a psychopath. It is also unjust to blame the boys parents.
@@gloriaambrose2840I totally agree 👍
This reminds me of the James Bulger murder and it makes me sick.
May God bless and keep Ana and may his grace continue to shine on her parents.
This is beyond painful....life is something else. Justice can be trash sometimes 💔💔💔 why should their identity be hidden and changed later!!!
It appears the UK and Ireland, Scotland etc don't have harsh punishment for horrific crimes. A a slap in the hand. Absolutely revolting
This wouldve never flew in usa. They wouldve been tried as adults 💯
You guys absolutely broke me with this one. Not ashamed to say I cried like a baby for Ana and her parents. My son is currently 13 and still has a child like naivety like Ana, and I pray he matures in his own time and does not have it torn from him like her with being bullied and then what ultimately transpired. Children and teen's lives should be safe that they can mature and grow into adults in their own way without the risk of bullying, but that's sadly not the world we live in. Honestly, I don't think there are any other creators on CZcams that handle these tragic stories the same way you guys do, you put so much care and empathy into every one, ensuring you not only respect the victim's and their families, but make sure that the audience takes note of how incredibly stoic and kind and strong Ana's parents remained through such a horrific ordeal.
Maybe also pray that your son wont turn out like the boys in the video. Parents tend to see their angels only as possible victims and not as possible attackers
Me too. Cried like a baby.
@@MrRisingapple I don’t need to pray for my own son because I am raising him to respect and appreciate all living things. What a disgusting comment to suggest I need divine intervention to stop my child from turning into these monsters.
Poor poor Ana. This case is so horrendous. A young beautiful girl, stollen away from her beloved parents. My heart aches for Ana and them.
Same here , l have nothing to say, l am speechless, Rest in paradise Ana , 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
@@michellekirby2278 so senseless. She died for no reason. Not like murder is ever justified but these are children!
What a heartbreaking end to her life. She needed people to accept and love her, instead they did this. My heart hurts for her.
This breaks my heart. I don’t understand why these boys get new identities when released and have been damn near babied during this whole trial 😡 …. What beautiful parents Ana had may she rest in paradise.
The way you tell these stories (this one in particular) with such compassion for the victims and their families is highly commendable. The delicate way you disperse the details without being overly graphic or dramatic is outstanding. Thank you for being a voice for these poor unfortunate souls. Great job ladies...
ABSOLUTELY AGREE 💯 % !
Yes she speaks with compassion and sadness in her voice she gives these innocent soul a voice 🙏💜
She presents both sides of the issue without any judgement in her voice. Just calmly tells all of the facts. This has become one of my favorite YT channels. I admire the research that is done and the narrator should have her own show.
Boy B is guilty because had it not been for him fetching her from her house and taking her to Boy A, she would still be alive.
Both as bad as each other .
How dare they excuse these vile monsters from the details of the autopsy????
They did it????
The level of depravity as an adult committing this crime would be extremely disturbing but the fact that these little animals committed such a crime as juveniles is absolutely terrifying. The thought of them ever getting out especially while they are still young adults
is unimaginable and I can’t imagine how much of menaces to society they will be at that time. Despicable animals like these should be caged or murdered because they will never be rehabilitated and the only ones who will suffer are innocent people and that is so unfair. Society today amazes me when we care more about criminals feeling then the protection of the ones who do the right thing everyday.
Such a heartbreaking story. She was in an orphanage for two years before being adopted, only to be murdered. RIP Ana 😢
😢😢😢
Hearing Ana's written hopes for her future just makes me want to break down and weep. That poor, poor, darling baby girl.
Poor Ana. She seemed so unhappy & troubled & totally taken advantage of. A murder so pointless & heartbreaking both victim & murderers were just children.
RIP 😔❤
(A really well-put together video btw👏)
how can you place somebody on the sex-offender's register yet have their identity concealed. seriously
What a lovely, and dignified couple Ana’s parents are. The fact that Ana was clearly such a kind, caring and bright girl is great credit to them as well as to Ana herself. Her violent murder, when she only wanted a friend, is horrific. While I’m not a “lock them up and throw away the key” kind of person, I find it difficult to think that the durations of those sentences give justice to the scale of the crime. In particular, Boy A’s non-parole period should be longer.
My heart breaks for Ana but for them as well. I have a daughter around Ana’s age. I can’t fathom her being brutally killed by anyone, let alone her own classmates. It’s just too much. The fact that they can even get out of bed (I’m sure that some days, they can’t) is pretty much a miracle. And along with having to stomach that joke of a verdict, they have to PROTECT THE BOYS who took their baby from them. It’s unreal.
For someone who is non native you did an amazing job pronouncing our Irish words. The outrage here in Ireland was fierce. It was truly horrific what happened to this poor girl. May she rest in gentle peace
The best reporting, communication and delivered in a humane way I have ever viewed. Excellent impartial reporting on an absolutely heart breaking subject.
This is by far the saddest story I have ever seen. I’m crying real tears!!!!! All she wanted was to be accepted and loved. I want to help Ana’s family to have those murderers exposed. I just can’t fathom what Ana’s loved ones are going through. May she Rest In Peace!!!!
Ireland is tiny. Everyone knows who they are
@@leannedoyle1149 Let's hope their identities leak out and we all know who they are so we can keep away from them.
@@istudios225 someone was up in court for sharing their pics and names
@@leannedoyle1149 Sad. That's the world we live in today. Perpetrators are coddled and protected. Jamie Bulger's mother was right. They should be exposed. Maybe a public petition should be started. After all, the justice system, LE and the government have a duty and responsibility to protect citizens and keep them safe. I'd say, with new unknown identities, there is a more than 50% chance that these violent murderers will murder again after they are released.
She was so beautiful. It breaks my heart how she was bullied for being tall and looking older. Children are so cruel. Then the murders. Just so senseless. My heart breaks for the family. They were incredibly strong.
My oldest daughter was 4 and everyone thought she was like 6 or 7 she was tall from the start of toddler hood only thing she missed was lots of hair lol only had first one at 4 and only took off 1/4 of an inch haha
Ireland needs longer prison terms like many other countries as Australia who has shockingly short prison terms for rape and murder.These monsters shouldn't never get out.Unknowing victims are in extreme danger.R.I.P. Ana
Australia has horribly light sentences, it’s astounding
Study upon study upon study has shown that countries with prison systems that prioritize punishment have higher crime rates and higher recidivism rates (70+ % as opposed to rates at around 20%). Amaf, the only "developed western" country that is known to have very harsh prison sentences is the only "developed" country that boasts of crime rates similar to those of undeveloped countries - and y'all can probably guess who that is. Hurt feelings are felt and are understandable, but they don't always contribute to building a "better society".
Yeah let's have long sentences like the United States because it works! Apart from the 4.5x higher murder rates, and juveniles serving life without parole sentences. Yee-haw!
@@jaysphotosgc2992 - Wheesht ya Lavvy Heid.
@Tracy Lynn - Get to know someone before you marry them. Give kids the knowledge so they can pick up on problematic behaviour in partners.
I get everyone is upset they are protecting their identities but the fact they excused them during the Autopsy when THEY caused it & her parents had to endure it is worse than anything else.
There is NO justice here, absolutely horrible case. They should never be allowed out of prison.
Seeing the parents smile at each other while planting the tree and unveiling the bench and plaque was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Knowing that they've felt so much pain but cling onto and find strength in each other is a beautiful thing in the midst of such tragedy. What love they must have for each other and their daughter, love truly forged in fire. May God heal their hurting hearts, give them peace, and hold young Ana in the palm of his hand. 🙏
Thank you for covering this case, for doing so with respect, professionalism & sympathy, for focusing on Ana's life, her talents, her beauty & the strength & dignity of her parents. Thank you for showing she was more than a mere statistic. Thank you.
AGREED 💯
You reading Ana’s hopes for the future made me so sad. Nobody deserves this. It easy to forget the victims in murder cases, but everyone of them had their own lives, goals, aspirations and struggles.
What TF is wrong with the justice system in Ireland? Bloody disgrace and that’s coming from an Australian.
It's always about the bloody perpetrators rights, in my mind, they lose thoses right once they commit a serious offence! This made me beyond angry. If it was my child they killed, I'd make it my lifes purpose to hold them accountable. They don't deserve a second chance.
What if your child murdered the girl, would you stand by it?
@@beaulieuc8910 yes I would
@@beaulieuc8910 No I would not
I will never understand concurrent sentences for separate criminal convictions, ESPECIALLY for criminal sexual conduct. Plus, new identities for the killers after release? Why is that necessary if their names were never known?!
Their identities were actually released by a woman who, I believe, faced jail, or was jailed, for doing so. Justice?
what does a concurrent sentence mean?
@@cheesepuffs8764 I believe it means they run at the same time. 12 years for 1 charge, 12 years for another = you serve only 12 years if they run concurrently. 24 if they don't.
@@marinaxlove oh, thanks for explaining. that’s so stupid
@@cheesepuffs8764 @marina is correct, concurrent sentences mean the sentences for the different convictions run at the same time. Consecutive sentences run one after the other. It's asinine to me that they would bother to try someone for a separate charge/offense, only to sentence them to a punishment that doesn't increase their time behind bars in the slightest when convicted. Again, it is ESPECIALLY ridiculous (imho) when it's criminal sexual conduct one's been convicted of!
Thank you for making so much of these videos about Ana, and allowing us to get to know her a bit more. RIP Ana
This was the first of your cases I watched, I then subscribed. It really stuck with me. Poor girl. Those Monsters.
why were they excused from hearing the injuries listed out... that they caused?!
This case breaks my heart. She never even got a chance to been a teenager.. the moment She gave a person a chance to hang out after school... That was it.. I couldn't imagine what that is like. So many of us got to experience going out, being teens, goofing off. She didn't even get this chance at all. It deeply saddens me.
It's so crap when the criminals have all the rights and are protected and the victim has everything laid bare. Every single detail of Anna's life was in the media but nothing about the perpetrators. Disgusting
How the boys are offered new identities when released is beyond crazy.
When these young men are released they will be free to date any woman they meet, she will be totally unaware of the danger he is capable of, he has a past and a interest in porn and pain that he can hide from her and her family, is this really fair to the good citizens of Ireland or the rest of the world if they choose to immigrant? I don’t believe it’s fair to the people
Yet again a complete joke of a sentence in Ireland/UK...what has to happen for a life sentence to mean just that? Regardless of age they cannot be let out. For a child to be capable of doing such things there has to be something majorly wrong, nothing that rehabilitation will cure. Time & time again we let them out for being a 'changed person' & 6 months down the line there's another victim. If the courts can't provide justice, I pray that the 'minor injuries' Boy A sustained in juvenile detention become major injuries in adult jail.
I agree with you 100%! If “boy A” was capable of such a horrendous crime at 13 God I don’t want to imagine what he’s capable of doing once he’s out on his 20’s such a joke of a sentence 😠 my heart goes out to Anna’s parents, friends, such a beautiful girl may she Rest In Peace 💜
I agree with you but I have noticed over the past 20 or so years that when you get life here in England it did used to be 15 to 20 years now you see it at 30+ years. R.I.P Ana.
AGREED 💯
@Mariela Miranda Exactly...they have something wrong with them that cannot be fixed. They may behave well & suddenly 'find God' while inside, but it doesn't mean that they are now a wholesome individual who will just happily slot back into society. Over & over again we see them reoffend. The public dont want them released & walking the same streets. Keep them locked away, with their own kind, or let the victims family have 30 mins with them & they can administer their own justice.
Give a few examples of these "time and time" after release murders? In reality it's incredibly rare.
Sometimes .. strange are the ways when Justice is served.. cannot fathom it.. heart wrenching..
You’re my favorite crime channel, more content please!!
Absolutely heart breaking. I cant see how Boy A can ever be released. However I'm very undecided on Boy B. He may have been complicit, but on the other hand he may have been telling the truth and found himself in a situation that he felt he had no control over.
On a separate note, I don't understand how their identities can even practically be kept secret. Surely students at their school will notice when two male students who associated with each other suddenly disappear?
Of course the whole community knows who they are. But publicising their names would be a criminal offence.
Edit: I was also surprised by the guilty verdict for Boy B.
Yes, I have some reservations about the full culpability of Boy B. He was embroiled in the plan, and his mind was full of horrible stuff he'd learned online, but I'm not sure he fully understood that the plan was reality not a fantasy. It's likely, IMO, that the possibility of actual murder by Boy A was utterly beyond his comprehension and there was no intent to kill on Boy B's part, so I'm also surprised that his charge was one of murder. The jury was unanimous, though, so clearly didn't share my reservations.
It's illegal to post details of their identities online but that doesn't mean people don't know that information. I'm Irish and I know both of their names and have seen their pictures as have many, many other people who followed this case. This was a murder that shocked the nation and was headline news throughout the investigation and the trial. The police freely admitted afterwards that Boy B essentially convicted himself. There was a ton of evidence pointing to Boy A's guilt but, despite intensive repeat searches, not even a single piece of DNA or any other evidence could be found linking Boy B to the scene. Without his own confession, he would never have been convicted. Whatever his level of culpability was, there is no doubt that a much larger portion of the blame rests on Boy A.
A big factor in granting them anonymity was the fact that there was such a public outcry at the horrific way that Ana was killed, there was a very real fear that, since any potential vigilantes couldn't get at the boys themselves, they would instead target their families. I know one of their families moved from the area shortly after the conviction. I'm not sure whether both have moved.
@gerry findon totally agree. Boy B is a piece of shit. It sounds like he fully understood the plan to lead her into trouble, saw/watched the attack take place and lied through his teeth.
@@sonia4641 Boy A looks pure evil. Total sociopath.
The amount of conversations Boy A & Boy B would have had prior to setting Ana up & leading to her death would have been many. Truly makes me sick.
Rip Ana 🌹
I watch true crime docs like I watch any tv, but this case brings me to tears every time I hear about it. That poor beautiful young girl deserved so much better from the world and I hope we all share a modicum of the burden of how she was let down.
Ana seemed like such a sweet young lady. My heart absolutely breaks for her.
Ridiculous sentence yet again. When will we learn
The parents of boy A and Boys B should be ashamed. Allowing boy A at 13 to view despicable hard-core content on his iPhone. Awful. Poor Ana
He had 2 phones hidden in his room. I'm sure they didn't know anything about them.
to hear that Boy b's father stood up and said that they were sending an 'innocent' boy to jail and clapped sarcastically at the jury was sickening to me.. the father should've been there from the start and told his son to tell the truth.. if boy b had told the truth from the start, he wouldn't have been convicted, he let his boy down, NOT the jury
Your style is becoming my fav. I like your voice tone, the storytelling, and most importantly unlike most, you dont try to be funny and don't end with giving your personal opinions which I find just pointless, catering to masses to flood the comments for clout.
Mums words leaving court simple but so powerful
That last line made me tear up!!! The pronunciation of her last name almost sounded like Angel...which was probably what my mind wanted to hear!!! Such a tragedy!!!
*Boy A shouldn't be eligible to be released at the age of 26* !! Instead, the age of 46 would be better. The guy is messed up in the head.
Will he be less messed up at 46 ?
But he can change. Imagine not remembering 13 years of your life. Would 33years be better. At age 46 without therapy and any change in his Character he'd be a worse tyranny because he'd have no real skills to contribute to the society. Making him a bigger menace.
@@Respectfully10 No, sadists don't change. They get triggered by different inclinations and will do it again. Proven so many times if you follow crime cases.
You covered this with the upmost respect so well done 👏 Some people were arrested for sharing the identities of both boys on social media. I think if you are old enough to commit a horrific crime like this then you are old enough to be named. May her parents find peace some day after this horrific act. RIP Ana ❤️
anonymity should not be given to merciless murderers
The coverage on this heartbreaking case was so well done; great storytelling done with empathy to the victim and her family. I watch a lot of true crime on this platform, but the delivery of this story was top tier.
I can understand that boy A's father was upset, but his son killed someone, the evidence was overwhelming against him. To snap at the court that way just shows he believes his son did no wrong.
They deserved life, they took a life, therefore they don deserve theirs.
Why did Boy A get less time, he's the actual killer?
They don't deserve to be returned to their families, as the reporter said, Ana will never be able to. Ireland needs harsher punishments for violent crimes. They do not deserve a 2nd chance. I believe in a eye for an eye. Murdering someone deserves the harshest punishment, LIFE behind bars. Their families should have to grieve a loss just like Ana's. She was senselessly killed, taken from this world for no reason. Those boys are evil. They understood perfectly what they did. At 13, you fully know right from wrong.
I commend Ana's parents for their bravery and dignity. I would not have been so polite, no matter their age.
Offered new identities!!! Slap in the face. Why? They deserve to be reprimanded and forced to remember what they did for the rest of their pathetic lives. Idc that they're 13, they don't deserve compassion, they showed none to Ana. Wretched children they are.
I love the idea of planting a tree in memory of someone. The tree will continue to grow and represent the life of this beautiful girl.
RIP Ana, may you live, forever, in paradise.
The only thing I disagree with is comparing them to the Bulger boys. The Bugler murderers were not teens, they were boys, not yet 13.
Boy B's Father was the one who lost his temper in the court room.
boy A got more time! he got life, reviewed after 12 years. boy b got 15 years, reviewed after 8.
@@nightgirlmelody6987 it's the 12 years that throws me off. That's what I meant by less time.
@@kchereicome9492 excuse my confusion.
Excellent job doing these videos. Both part 1 and part 2 were excellent and included several details absent in other recording. Thank you for your efforts.
It doesn’t sound like Ireland has a real justice system.
The fact that when they get out they'll be able to take new identities is absolutely insane and so dangerous, this is so wrong on so many level, that is not justice at all
Haven't watched yet but thank you for not making us wait a week for part 2!! Left me wanting more! Thank you for the great videos!
Wow this might be the best one you’ve done so far… That was really well done! 👏
Ana's parents remained dignified and showed enormous restraint during and after the court case.
Those two will be out in a few years, to keep their identity confidential is an outrage.
That poor girl. R.I.P.Ana.😢
