Two teenagers aged 16 and 17 go on trial accused of murdering 15-year-old Amen Teklay in a sword attack in March 2025. According to accounts from the court reported by multiple outlets, the defence tells the court that neither accused “laid a finger” on Teklay, and that they deny involvement in the killing. The allegations centre on the attack that results in Teklay’s death, with the prosecution asserting the teenagers’ responsibility for the murder. Reported coverage notes that the case is heard in a courtroom setting where jurors and the court are told key aspects of the parties’ positions, including the claim that the accused were not involved physically with the victim. The sources consistently describe the accused as teenagers and identify the victim as Amen Teklay, 15, as well as the timing of the incident as March 2025. The proceedings continue as the trial advances with the contested question of the teenagers’ involvement and whether the evidence supports the prosecution’s case.
