Two teenagers are found not guilty of murdering 15-year-old Amen Teklay after a High Court trial in Glasgow. The case relates to an incident in March 2025, when Teklay dies following a confrontation involving two boys who were aged 14 and 15 at the time. Media reports say Teklay is seriously injured during the attack and dies at the scene.
According to coverage, one defendant, described as a 16-year-old at the time of trial, accepted that he stabbed Teklay with a sword. The jury is asked to consider whether the stabbing was carried out in self-defence or whether Teklay may have provoked the attacker. The court ultimately acquits the two teenagers, meaning the prosecution does not establish murder beyond reasonable doubt.
The reports agree on the outcome—acquittals of both teenagers—the identity of the victim, and that the fatal injury occurred during the March 2025 incident in Glasgow. They differ mainly in minor details about the defendants’ ages and how the defence was framed, but the central facts remain consistent.
