Two teenagers have been cleared of murdering a 15-year-old boy who was stabbed through the heart with a sword in Glasgow.

Amen Teklay died after a confrontation involving the two boys, who were aged 14 and 15 at the time, in the St George’s Cross area in March 2025.

A jury at the High Court in Glasgow found them both not guilty of murder. The boys are now aged 16 and 17 but cannot be named because of their age.

The younger teenager said both he and Amen had swords and claimed that he stabbed him in self-defence. The older boy said he had been standing a distance away and did not attack Amen.
