Two teens face trial for the 2025 Glasgow murder of a 15-year-old attacked with a sword and pan.

Two 15- and 16-year-old boys are set to stand trial in Glasgow for the March 5, 2025, murder of 15-year-old Amen Teklay, who died from severe injuries after being attacked with a sword and a frying pan in the Maryhill area. Prosecutors allege the masked teens chased and assaulted Teklay on Glenfarg and Clarendon streets, with the 15-year-old also charged over allegedly hiding a blood-stained top and disposing of a weapon. The 16-year-old’s lawyer pleaded not guilty, while the 15-year-old’s defense claims self-defense. The trial is scheduled for June 17, 2026, though the court location remains unconfirmed. Both defendants remain anonymous under youth justice rules.
