Teenagers are cleared of murdering 15-year-old Amen Teklay after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow. Teklay died in March 2025 following a confrontation involving two boys aged 14 and 15 at the time of the incident. Reporting across outlets says he was seriously injured after being struck with a sword and died at the scene. The court hears that one of the defendants accepted he stabbed Teklay, with the jury tasked with deciding whether the fatal stabbing was carried out in self-defence or whether it was provoked. After deliberations, jurors return not guilty verdicts for both teenagers. Multiple sources describe the case as a murder trial that ends with acquittals, meaning neither defendant is found criminally responsible for Teklay’s death. The verdict is reached on the second day of deliberations, according to some reports. None of the sources provide details that contradict the core facts: Teklay’s death in Glasgow in March 2025, the ages of the defendants, the sword-related injuries, and the final verdict of not guilty for both.
