Teenage boy charged with murder after multiple stabbings near Sydney school

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder after two stabbings, one of which resulted in the death of another teenager, near a school in western Sydney on Friday.

Emergency services responded to reports that two teenagers had been stabbed near a school on Power Street in Doonside at about 3.40pm on Friday.

“Attempts were made to treat the 18-year-old, but sadly that person succumbed to their injuries outside the police station,” he said.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested near the Doonside location overnight and taken to Mount Druitt Police Station, where he was charged with murder.

Glinn said that as the investigation was ongoing and a charge had been laid, he could not divulge details of the alleged crime.

“With some enforcement with high visibility policing and some other support over coming days and weeks… I hope that the community can have confidence to go about their business in a safe way.”
