A third teenage boy has been charged in connection with the death of a schoolboy in Glasgow earlier this month.

Amen Teklay, 15, was found with serious wounds believed to have been inflicted with a blade on Clarendon Street on March 5.

He was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency services.

A major investigation was launched and Police Scotland said it was treating the death as murder following a post-mortem.

On Sunday, officers confirmed a 16-year-old boy had been arrested and charged in connection with the death.

He is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday and a report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal.

A 14-year-old boy previously appeared in court on March 10 charged with Amen’s murder and assault.

An additional charge claims he was in possession of a knife in the city’s Dumbarton Road area three days before Amen’s death.

He made no plea and was remanded in custody.

A 15-year-old boy, also arrested in connection with the death, appeared in court facing a separate assault charge.

The 15-year-old is accused of being in possession of a barrier pole at the same time or place. He also made no plea and was granted bail.
