A third teenage boy has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of 15-year-old Amen Teklay on a street in Glasgow.
Amen, who was an Eritrean refugee, was seriously injured in the city’s Clarendon Street at about 10.30pm on Wednesday 5 March, and died at the scene shortly afterwards.
Two Glasgow boys, aged 14 and 15, were arrested and charged that weekend in connection with the incident after a murder investigation was opened.
On Sunday, Police Scotland said a third boy, aged 16, had been arrested and charged in connection with Amen’s death.
They said he would appear in court in due course, and that a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal, the public prosecutor.
The two boys arrested and charged earlier appeared in court on 10 March.
The 14-year-old boy was charged with murder, while both were accused of assault and carrying an offensive weapon in a public place.
The teenagers made no plea to the charges.
