Teen Claims Self-Defense in Fatal Stabbing | Glasgow News

A 16-year-old teen on trial for murder claims he stabbed a 15-year-old boy, Amen Teklay, in Glasgow after believing Amen was about to attack his 17-year-old friend with a knife. The teen, who purchased a sword online and posted videos of it, says the feud began months earlier when Amen allegedly robbed him. On the night of the incident, he claims Amen emerged with a knife and turned toward his friend, prompting him to act in self-defense. He admits striking Amen, not knowing the full extent of the injuries, and later fled, discarding his bloody clothes and the weapon. Prosecutors say both teens, masked, attacked Amen with a sword and frying pan — now the court weighs whether his actions were truly defensive or reckless.
