NSW: Murder charge against teen dropped
SYDNEY, April 23 AAP - A 14-year-old boy accused of killing a Sydney chemist today
had the murder charge against him dropped.
The boy, who cannot be named, had been charged over the murder of Emad Youssef, 38,
who was shot outside his pharmacy at Canley Heights, in Sydney's west, on August 1 last

and sexual intercourse without consent over offences committed in Canley Vale last July.
He will be sentenced on May 21.
