Teenagers cleared of murdering 15-year-old boy in sword attack

Two teenagers (now 16 and 17) were found not guilty of murdering 15‑year‑old Amen Teklay after a Glasgow trial over a March 2025 sword stabbing.
The prosecution called it a "murderous assault," but the younger defendant said he acted in self‑defence amid a long‑running feud involving weapons, while the older boy denied attacking Amen.
The trial featured CCTV, messages and emotional scenes in court, and Amen’s death prompted a local vigil and memorial.
