Scotland investigates Glasgow police response before 15-year-old Amen Teklay’s fatal March 2025 attack.

A police watchdog in Scotland is investigating Glasgow police actions before the March 5, 2025, fatal attack on 15-year-old Amen Teklay, who was killed with a sword and frying pan in the St George’s Cross area. Two teens, aged 15 and 16, deny murder and are set to stand trial in June 2026, with prosecutors citing prior incidents, including a weapon threat days before the killing and an earlier assault. The Police Investigations and Review Commissioner is examining whether an "Osman" threat-to-life alert was issued and will report findings to the Crown Office, though details are restricted due to ongoing legal proceedings. Teklay, originally from Eritrea, was remembered in a Glasgow memorial service before his body was returned to Ethiopia.
