15-Year-Old Admits Manslaughter in Sheffield School Stabbing

A 15-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Harvey Willgoose, who was fatally stabbed at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield, but denied the charge of murder. The defendant, whose identity is withheld due to his age, also admitted to possessing a bladed article on school premises. The incident, which occurred during the school day and in front of staff and pupils, resulted in Harvey being stabbed twice in the chest and dying shortly after. The boy has been remanded into youth detention, and a murder trial is scheduled for June 30. Harvey’s family expressed their devastation, describing him as caring and beloved, while tributes from friends and officials, including the Prime Minister, underscored the tragedy’s impact on the community.
