A third teenager has been apprehended and charged with murder in connection to the fatal stabbing of a young boy in Sydney’s north-west last month.

Seventeen-year-old Lucas Cornu was tragically stabbed in the leg at Bruce Purser Reserve, located on Caballo Street at the boundary of Rouse Hill and Beaumont Hills, during the previous month.

Despite paramedics’ swift response and efforts, Cornu succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
