مقتل سوداني بمدينة اديلايد الأسترالية ..

Quote: A city shop owner has also revealed that the knife believed to have been used to kill the 14-year-old schoolboy during a brawl between Sudanese youths was purchased just seven minutes before the incident. Police expect to lay charges within days over the stabbing death of Daniel Thongjang Awak, in a fight involving a group of 12 Sudanese Australians. Another teenager who was stabbed in the leg remains in a serious but stable condition at Royal Adelaide Hospital. The wild fight began in Adelaide's City Cross arcade at 3.40pm on Wednesday and spilled over Grenfell Street and in to the Fleet Street Newsagency. At 3.33pm an unknown teenager of African appearance bought a 15cm knife from an arcade store, the store's owner was reported by the Daily Telegraph as saying. Police refused to confirm this. South Australian Police Commissioner Mal Hyde said today police investigators have taken time to sort through reports and other material. "But the advice I have received this morning is that in the next couple of days there may well be charges laid," he said. Police said they had not yet identified a clear motive for the attack, but understood there were a number of altercations which led to the incident. A 16-year-old boy was arrested at the scene and charged with aggravated assault on police and resisting arrest, but the allegations against him are not related to the initial brawl. Mr Hyde said while relations between police and the Sudanese community were good, police were concerned about the possibility of retaliation. Measures had been introduced to prevent further attacks, including extra patrols in key areas of the city where Sudanese youths were known to gather, he said. Friends and family yesterday expressed their shock on hearing of Daniel's death. "He is one of the nicest people I know and one of the people you would least suspect this would happen to," a schoolmate wrote on the AdelaideNow message board. Daniel was born in a cattle-farming village south of Sudan. As a child he migrated to a refugee camp in Kenya to flee the Sudanese Civil War. He lived with his aunt in Uganda for a few years and in 2004 moved to Australia, at the age of 10, the Telegraph reports. In 2006 Daniel's mother, three brothers and three sisters joined him in Australia. Family friends say he then became a happier and more settled child.

Disturbing CCTV footage has been released showing a teenager being chased by an African gang through central Adelaide shortly before he was stabbed to death.
