A third teenager has been charged with murder following the stabbing death of a 15-year-old boy metres from a hospital in Melbourne’s north on Wednesday.
Mickleham teenager Darweish Mohamed was found critically injured outside Craigieburn Community Hospital about 7.50pm.
A staff member performed frantic CPR on Darweish in a car park near Lygon Drive, but he could not be revived.
A 14-year-old boy arrested by police on Friday has been charged with murder and is awaiting a court appearance.
The charge comes after two other boys, aged 15 and 16, were charged with murder. Their cases have already been before court and both were remanded in custody.
In the children’s court hearing on Friday, a magistrate was told the 16-year-old accused teen had been charged with committing an indictable offence on bail, after being charged and bailed by police for separate alleged offending on June 27 – four days before the fatal stabbing.
Police say a burnt-out car linked to Darweish’s death was found in Oaklands Junction, just over 10 kilometres from where the teenager died.
Police have also charged a 20-year-old Beveridge man with criminal damage by fire, and a 15-year-old girl with affray and theft of motor vehicle.
