Teen Claims Self-Defense in Glasgow Knife Clash | Glasgow News

A 16-year-old on trial for murder claims he acted in self-defense after believing 15-year-old Amen Teklay was about to stab his 17-year-old friend with a knife. The confrontation, allegedly on March 5, 2025, in Glasgow’s St George’s Cross, followed a months-long feud rooted in a cannabis robbery. The teen, who bought a $40 sword online and kept it hidden, testified he drew his own knife and intervened when Amen turned toward his friend. He stabbed Amen after believing he was about to be attacked. The teen also admitted searching online for Amen and murder sentences the day after — unaware Amen had died. The trial continues.
