Fourth teen charged in stabbing death of 16-year-old Halifax student
HALIFAX – A fourth teen is facing a charge of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of a 16-year-old Halifax high school student.
Halifax Regional Police issued a brief statement today saying the 16-year-old suspect was arrested Wednesday and was scheduled to appear today in provincial youth court in Halifax.
The accused was one of two 16-year-olds arrested on April 22, shortly after Ahmad Maher Al Marrach was found badly injured in a Halifax parking garage and died later that day in hospital.
The two 16-year-old suspects were released from custody on April 23, but one of them was arrested again on Monday and later charged with second-degree murder.
Last Friday, two 14-year-olds — a boy and a girl — appeared in youth court to face one count each of second-degree murder.
The identities of all four accused are protected from publication under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
