4th youth charged with murder in killing of 16-year-old outside Halifax mall [Video]

Police in Halifax have charged a fourth youth with second-degree murder in the death of 16-year-old Ahmad Al Marrach.

Al Marrach died in hospital on April 22 after he was found injured in a parking garage at the Halifax Shopping Centre.

In a release Wednesday, Halifax Regional Police said investigators arrested a 16-year-old who was previously arrested and released the day Al Marrach died.

The youth was scheduled to appear in Halifax Youth Justice Court Thursday to face one count of second-degree murder.

Two 14-year-olds — a boy and a girl — were charged with second-degree murder last Thursday and appeared in court Friday, where their bail hearing was set for May 13.

And another 16-year-old, who was also arrested and released the day of Al Marrach’s death, was re-arrested charged with second-degree murder Monday.
