A second 15-year-old boy is due to face court charged with the stabbing murder of a 17-year-old, who died at a reserve in Sydney’s north-west.
The teen was arrested at a home in Rouse Hill on Tuesday night with assistance from riot squad officers, hours after his 15-year-old co-accused faced court.
He is due to face Parramatta Children’s Court on Wednesday.
None of the boys can be named for legal reasons.
The girlfriend of the 17-year-old, who died after being stabbed in the leg at Bruce Purser Reserve at Rouse Hill on Monday afternoon, shared a tribute on social media on Tuesday.
“I love you so much, and you will forever be in my heart. You don’t deserve this and never did,” she wrote alongside a video of the pair.
“I love you … I always will. Fly high, my beautiful boy.”
