30 killed, women killed since 2020, 21 of them were known, knew their murderers.

So the North is on high alert about this stuff at the moment.

So yes, the review is very detailed.

What I loved about it, it's beautifully written.

It's very accessible.

There's a lot of information in there.

And, you know, if there is something to come from Katie Simpson's horrific death and the horrendous investigation into it, let it be that this review will make sure that, you know, these kind of crimes are investigated to the nth.

In May 2018, 14-year-old Anna Creagel was reported missing by her parents to the Gardaí.

After an intensive three-day search, her battered and naked body was found in a derelict farmhouse, a short walk from her home in Lucan, West Dublin.

Thirteen months later, two 14-year-old boys, only ever known as Boy A and Boy B, were found guilty of Anna's murder.

They remain the youngest people in Ireland to have ever been convicted of murder.

Today, I'm talking to Kiva Young about what could have led these children to commit such a heinous crime.

I'm Jenny Friel, and this is Crime World, a podcast from crimeworld.com.

So this is Anna Creajal, a name that we're very familiar with.

And then there is the boys who murdered her.

Boy A. Boy A and Boy B. And we probably and possibly never know their names, but they certainly for a long time.

And it's coming up to, I think it was the 14th of May.

Yes.

So these, Anna, the boys, why this is such a, apart from the ferocity of how she died, these boys are our youngest ever murderers, to be convicted of murder and to both still now serving sentences.

They're both now 21.
