Teenage boy, 15, charged with murder of fellow 15-year-old at Sheffield school

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of a fellow 15-year-old boy who was stabbed to death at a school in Sheffield.

Harvey Willgoose died following the incident at All Saints Catholic High School on Monday.

Police said Willgoose suffered “serious injuries” and despite the efforts of medics, died a short time after emergency services arrived.

The suspect was arrested soon after and has now been charged with murder, possessing a bladed article and affray.

He will appear at Sheffield Youth Court later today.

Chris Hartley, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service Yorkshire and Humberside, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has reviewed a file of evidence from South Yorkshire Police.

“We have authorised South Yorkshire Police to charge a 15-year-old with murder in relation to the death of Harvey Willgoose, 15, at All Saints Catholic High School on 3 February. He has also been charged with possession of a bladed article and one count of affray.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that the youth has a right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”
