Third teenager arrested over Amen Teklay death

A third teenage boy has been arrested in connection with the death of a schoolboy in Glasgow earlier this month.

Amen Teklay, 15, was found seriously injured in Clarendon Street in the Maryhill area on 5 March and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police Scotland said a 16-year-old boy had been arrested and charged, and would appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

A 14-year-old boy has already been in court charged with murder and assault, and is accused of striking Amen with a knife, while a 15-year-old faces an assault charge.

Amen, who is originally from Eritrea, lived with his father in Glasgow and had recently been granted ‘right to remain’ status in the UK.

He attended St Thomas Aquinas secondary school in Jordanhill.

His headteacher there described him as friendly and much-loved young man who was interested in music and the media.

His 17-year old sister Delina previously told BBC Scotland Amen had hoped to gain UK citizenship and become a doctor, engineer or basketball player.

He had lived in Glasgow for about eight years.
