A 12-year-old boy is appearing in court in connection with the death of an 11-year-old Somalian asylum seeker, following an alleged incident in a school dining hall.

It is understood the dead boy was involved in a scuffle at All Saints Secondary School in the Barmulloch area of Glasgow shortly after 11.30am on Tuesday.

He was rushed to nearby Stobhill Hospital but was later pronounced dead.

Glasgow City Council said the boy, who had lived in Glasgow for three-and-a-half years, fell ill in the school dining area during a mid-morning break.

A spokesman said the dining area was crowded at the time and the pupils who witnessed the incident were in "complete shock".

Strathclyde Police said they had arrested a 12-year-old boy and that a report had been sent to the procurator fiscal.

He was due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court some time today.

The Daily Record newspaper named the dead boy as Suhail Saleh, but police refused to confirm the name.

He had been living in Glasgow with his mother, brother and aunt at the Red Road flats close to the school, after the family fled Mogadishu.

School head Thomas McDonald wrote a letter to parents informing them of the tragedy.
