Overview
- A 15-year-old boy, identified as Darweish Mohamed, was found with stab wounds in the Craigieburn Community Hospital car park on Wednesday night and died at the scene despite CPR from a staff member.
- Victoria Police have charged two teenagers with murder and remanded them in custody, and a committal hearing has been set for November with homicide detectives given until early October to prepare their brief of evidence.
- Investigators say they have footage of a fight before the stabbing and have linked a burnt-out car found in Oaklands Junction to the case, and a 20-year-old has been charged with criminal damage by fire.
- Court documents revealed the 16-year-old accused was granted police bail four days before the alleged killing, a fact that has prompted statements from the attorney-general and attention on juvenile bail and knife-crime prevention.
- Friends and neighbours have left tributes and a GoFundMe for the family had raised almost $45,000 by Friday, while schools and the state’s Violence Reduction Unit are offering support to manage community grief and safety concerns.
