15-Year-Old Admits Manslaughter of Harvey Willgoose 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 in February. The defendant, who also admitted possessing a knife on school grounds, denied murder and will face trial on that charge later this summer. The incident led to the temporary closure of the school and prompted community tributes to Harvey, including floral memorials at the school gates and Bramall Lane football ground. Harvey’s family, in a recent interview, described the ongoing emotional impact of his death and their difficulty coping with his absence. Due to his age, the defendant’s identity has not been disclosed. The case has highlighted safety concerns in schools and continues to draw significant public attention as it proceeds to trial.
