Police say the accused and the victim knew each other, having spent time in the same neighbourhood.

Police say the 15-year-old has been in custody since August 22, and the 16-year-old in custody since August 21, both for failing to abide by court-imposed conditions.

Due to their ages, the names of the two suspects are not being released.
