Sheffield Schoolboy Guilty of Murdering Fellow Pupil

A 15-year-old boy has been found guilty of murdering fellow 15-year-old pupil Harvey Willgoose during a lunch break at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield on February 3. The defendant stabbed Harvey in the heart with a 13cm hunting knife, having previously admitted to manslaughter but denied murder, claiming he 'lost control' due to bullying. The jury rejected his defense, concluding the act was deliberate, citing his history of violent outbursts, obsession with weapons, and posts on social media aiming to 'look hard.' The school is under criticism for failing to act on multiple warning signs, including reports of the defendant bringing weapons and making threats. The case has intensified public concern about knife crime and school safety, with calls for better institutional responses. The convicted teenager is scheduled to be sentenced at a later date.
