He will also face a children’s court.

Loved ones of Darweish have asked community members to keep him in their prayers.
Family friend Mohamed Bakhit launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to meet his funeral expenses.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved brother, Darweish,” the fundraiser page reads.
“No family should ever have to go through a loss like this and our hearts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”
The campaign had raised more than $54,000 towards a goal of $60,000 by Saturday morning.
It asks those who are unable to donate to keep Darweish and his family in their du’as, an Arabic word for a form of Islamic prayer.
Asked about the Mount Ridley College student’s death, Victoria’s education department confirmed it would provide support to affected school communities.
“The death of any young person is a tragedy,” a spokesperson told AAP.
