A 14-year-old boy has been accused of assaulting 15-year-old Amen Teklay just weeks before he allegedly murdered him in Glasgow. The teenager, whose identity cannot be revealed for legal reasons, is said to have attacked Amen on Great Western Road on 12 February 2025. According to court papers, the 14-year-old and 15-year-old, along with another unidentified person, repeatedly punched and kicked Amen in the head and body.
Both boys appeared in Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with assault but made no plea during a private hearing. The situation took an even darker turn when, on 5 March, Amen was found seriously injured on Clarendon Street in Maryhill, Glasgow, at around 10:30 pm. The 14-year-old has since been separately charged with his murder, with prosecutors claiming he stabbed Amen during the attack, reported the Daily Record.
