Fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Melbourne boy Darweish Mohamed and related arrests
Consensus Summary
Multiple sources confirm that 15-year-old Darweish Mohamed was fatally stabbed outside Craigieburn Community Hospital on Wednesday evening, with a staff member performing CPR but unable to save him. Three teenagers—including a 16-year-old from the Goulburn Valley and a 15-year-old from Craigieburn—have been charged with murder, while a 14-year-old from Hume and a 15-year-old girl from Fawkner face additional charges related to the incident. A 20-year-old man from Beveridge was charged with criminal damage by fire and bailed to appear in December. A GoFundMe campaign raised over $37,000 by Friday morning, with the Guardian later reporting it exceeded $54,000 by Saturday. The ABC notes the 16-year-old suspect was out on bail at the time of the attack, and both sources link a burnt-out car at Oaklands Junction to the case. The story has drawn tributes from the community, with memorials held outside the hospital.
