15-Year-Old Boy Fatally Stabbed at Sheffield School with Hunting Knife

Harvey Willgoose was killed during an altercation at All Saints Catholic High School, days after a prior lockdown due to threats of violence.

  • Harvey Willgoose, 15, died on February 3 after being stabbed in the heart with a hunting knife at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield.
  • A 15-year-old suspect has been charged with murder, possession of a bladed article, and affray, and is being held in youth detention.
  • The school went into lockdown the week before the incident due to threats of violence, though prosecutors stated this was unrelated to the stabbing.
  • Tributes for Harvey, described by his family as a 'caring, loving, and funny' young man, have been left at the school and Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane stadium.
  • A mass in Harvey’s memory is scheduled for Saturday at St Joseph’s Church in Handsworth.
