Summary
A 16-year-old in Glasgow faces murder charges after fatally stabbing Amen Teklay in a knife confrontation that erupted from a gang feud over stolen cannabis. The teen claims he acted in self-defense, saying Teklay was advancing on his friend with a knife — and that he stabbed him in response when Teklay turned toward him. The teen, who bought a red-bladed sword online for $40 to project a tough image, says he was terrified and later dumped his bloodied clothes and the weapon near a river. He also admitted to Googling Teklay the day after the attack — unaware Teklay had died. The trial continues as the court weighs whether the teen’s actions were truly self-defense or a deadly escalation.
