TWO boys have been arrested in connection with the murder of teenager Anastasia Kriegel.
The 14-year-old's naked body was found in a disused farmhouse on the Clonee road in Lucan, Dublin, last week.
She had last been seen alive three days previously in St Catherine's Park, close to her home in Leixlip, on May 14.
A post-mortem examination found that Ana had been sexually assaulted and died from blunt force trauma to the head.
