A 17-year-old has become the eighth person to be charged with murder over the death of a Melbourne teenager in March.
Detectives from the Homicide Squad arrested the youth at Melbourne Airport on Wednesday morning and charged him with murder.
The teenager briefly appeared in a children’s court just before 1pm on Wednesday where he was formally charged with murder.
Declan Cutler, 16, was fatally assaulted and stabbed on a residential street in Reservoir, 12km north of Melbourne’s CBD, on March 13.
