Youth Sentenced for Murdering 15-Year-Old Harvey Willgoose
A youth has been sentenced to life with a minimum of over 15 years detention for murdering 15-year-old Harvey Willgoose in a Sheffield school courtyard in February 2025.
Mohammed Umar Khan, 15, was found guilty of carrying a hunting knife into school premises at Sheffield Crown Court. He took the 13 cm serrated edged blade into All Saints High School and stabbed fellow pupil Harvey Willgoose at 12:15 pm.
Within a minute, Harvey lost consciousness and died. The defendant and Harvey had previously been on good terms but fell out over a fight between two other pupils, with each taking opposing sides. Their fallout escalated on social media, with threats being made between them.
The defendant admitted that he stabbed Harvey, causing his death, and accepted that his actions would amount to manslaughter, building the case on losing control.
The Crown Prosecution Service reported the sentencing on 22 October 2025.
