A third teenager has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Darweish Mohamed. A 14-year-old from Melbourne's Hume area was arrested Friday evening and charged, with a court appearance scheduled.

Darweish Mohamed was discovered with critical stab wounds outside Craigieburn Community Hospital in the city's north around 7:50 p.m. on Wednesday. A staff member from the medical center attempted CPR but was unable to save him; he died at the scene.

Police had previously arrested two individuals early Thursday. A 16-year-old boy from Goulburn Valley was charged with murder, and a 20-year-old man from Beveridge was charged with criminal damage by fire. On Friday, a second murder charge was laid against a 15-year-old boy from the Craigieburn area.

A 15-year-old girl from Fawkner has been charged with affray and theft of a motor vehicle. A burnt-out car found at Oaklands Junction has also been linked to the stabbing.

Loved ones of Darweish have launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover funeral expenses, which had raised more than $54,000 towards a $60,000 goal by Saturday morning. The education department confirmed it would provide support to affected school communities, stating, "The death of any young person is a tragedy."
