A teenage boy who was convicted of the murder of schoolgirl Ana Kriegel has been assaulted in Oberstown Detention Centre.
The 15-year-old, who was known as Boy A during his trial, was attacked by fellow detainees on Sunday evening.
According to reports he was watching television at the time when he was set upon by a group of boys in what is described as a minor assault.
Investigating gardai are reviewing CCTV footage of the incident.
A garda spokesman told Dublin Live: "An Garda Síochána are investigating an alleged assault that occurred at Oberstown Detention Campus on Sunday 24th May 2020."
Boy A was handed a life sentence for the murder and aggravated sexual assault of 14-year-old Ana, whose body was found in a derelict house in Lucan, Co Dublin, in May 2018.
His sentence can be reviewed after 12 years, meaning his earliest possible release date is June 18, 2031.
A second teen, known as Boy B, was sentenced to 15 years with a review after eight years.
The pair were just 13-years-old when they murdered Ana in a case that shocked the nation.
They are the youngest people to be convicted of murder in the history of the State.
Boy B lodged an appeal against his conviction in March.
