Teen guilty of murdering fellow pupil
Paisley Daily Express
|August 09, 2025
A SCHOOLBOY who stabbed another pupil to death on their lunch break has been found guilty of murder.
-
Harvey Willgoose, 15, was stabbed in the heart in front of horrified children by another 15-year-old boy who had brought a hunting knife to school.
Sheffield Crown Court heard how other pupils fled “in fear and panic,” with some locking themselves in a school cupboard, after the fatal attack at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield on February 3.
The defendant, who cannot be named because of his age, admitted manslaughter but denied murder, saying he “snapped” after a long period of bullying and does not remember what happened.
But prosecutors said he “wanted to show he was hard” and “knew exactly what he was doing”.
Yesterday, a jury found him guilty of murder by a majority of 11 to one after deliberating for more than 14 hours.
