Gardai has launched an investigation after several images of the children were shared online.

They were only 13 years old when Child B dragged Ana from her home, who watched as Child A subjected her to a brutal assault at the abandoned Glenwood House near Lucan on May 14, 2018.

His naked body was discovered by a Garda search team three days later.

Throughout the criminal process, several court orders were issued prohibiting anyone from posting anything that could identify the couple due to their young age.

SOCIAL MEDIA IMAGES

Gardai launched a criminal investigation after several images were shared on the couple’s social media.

Jake Marshall, 22, of Balcurris Gardens, Ballymun, Louise Heaney, 48, of Killinarrden, Tallaght, Hazel Fitzpatrick, 24, of Easton Green, Leixlip, Co Kildare, Leeanda Farrelly, Kilmartin Avenue, Tallaght, Gareth Cunningham, 38, of Greenfort Crescent, Clondalkin, Edel Doherty, 47, from Hardwicke Street, Dublin 1, Jamie Shannon, 25, from Empress Place, Dublin 1, Kyle Rooney, 25, from Rathfield Park, Raheny, Declan Corcoran, 30, from Williams Place Lower, Dublin 1, all have been accused of sharing images on the social networks of Boy A and Boy B.

Robert Murphy, 30, of Dolphin Road, Drimnagh, has been charged with naming the children on Twitter.

Judge Brian O’Shea accepted jurisdiction in the case and postponed it until December 2.

Last week, Rebecca Ryan, 25, of Priory Lawn, Ballybeg in the city of Waterford, was brought before the Waterford District Court, charged with sharing photos of the children on Twitter.

He must also return to court in December.
