The 17-year-old boy is the eighth teenager to be charged with murder after 16-year-old Declan Cutler was fatally attacked and stabbed in Reservoir on March 13.
The teenager was arrested at Melbourne Airport this morning and is due to face a children’s court this afternoon.
The death of 16-year-old Reservoir boy Declan Cutler has been described as “one of the most vicious and brutal attacks” police officers have seen.
Declan had left a house party with friends, before he and his friends were chased by a dark sedan with a number of people inside, police had previously said.
It’s believed Declan had separated from his friends when he was attacked on the street about 2.30am.
Declan was treated by paramedics and police but died at the scene.
