Second teenager on murder charge over death of Amen Teklay
The 16-year-old was remanded in custody after private appearance
A second teenager has appeared in court charged with the murder of schoolboy Amen Teklay in Glasgow.
The 16-year-old boy allegedly assaulted Amen on March 5 2025 with another during the attack on Clarendon Street.
It is claimed the boy, while in possession of a frying pan, “punched or otherwise struck Amen Teklay on the body."
The charge further alleges that the boy struck Amen on the body with a knife and murdered him.
The 16-year-old made no plea at a private hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court. The boy, who is from the city's Springburn, was remanded by Sheriff Vincent Lunny. He will appear at court again within the next eight days.
A 14-year-old boy appeared at the same court two weeks ago also charged with Amen's murder. His charge stated that he struck Amen with a knife.
A further charge claims the 14-year-old had possession of a knife in the city’s Dumbarton Road three days before the killing.
A 15-year-old who also appeared in court is stated to have had a barrier pole at the same time or place.
The 14 and 15-year-old boys appeared together on an assault charge against Amen which said to have taken place weeks before the alleged murder.
The attack is said to have taken place on Glasgow's Great Western Road on February 12 2025.
Court papers state the 14 and 15-year-old boys, while acting with another unknown to the prosecutor, repeatedly punched and kicked Mr Teklay to the head and body.
The pair also made no plea at their hearings before Sheriff Jonathan Guy.
The 14-year-old was remanded while the 15-year-old was granted bail.
