A youth has their record sealed and destroyed 3 years after a summary offence if they haven't received any subsequent offence. It's either 5 or 7 years for an indictable offence.
If he's not charged and convicted of anything, than no, nothing will show up on his record at any time.
So if you kill someone at 14, you won't have a criminal record when applying for jobs in your 20s assuming you stayed out of trouble after that time.
