Teenager, 14, charged in connection with death of Glasgow schoolboy

A TEENAGER has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of 15-year-old Amen Teklay in Glasgow.

At round 10.30pm on Wednesday, officers were called to a report of a person being found seriously injured on Clarendon Street, Glasgow.

Emergency services attended and Amen, 15, was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 14-year-old male has been arrested and charged in connection with the death. He is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.

A 15-year-old male was also arrested in connection with the death and enquiries are ongoing.

A report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.

Amen's relatives continue to be supported by specially trained officers.

Detective Chief Inspector Campbell Jackson said: “Our thoughts remain with Amen’s family and friends at this very difficult time. I would also like to thank the community for their support so far. Our investigation continues and I would ask anyone, who may have information which could help us and who has not yet come forward, to please contact us."

Superintendent Christopher Stewart said: "We are continuing to support Amen’s family and continue to engage with the local community affected by this incident. There will continue to be a visible policing presence in the area and I would urge anyone with questions or concerns to approach a local officer – they are there to help."
