The mother of a teenage boy stabbed to death with a hunting knife at his school has called for the fellow pupil convicted of her son’s murder to be named.
Caroline Willgoose, whose son Harvey died at All Saints’ Catholic High School, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, on February 3, has spoken out following the trial of the 15-year-old boy who killed him.
Jurors at Sheffield Crown Court rejected claims by the killer he snapped following a long history of bullying.
Mrs Willgoose said the defence case ‘tarnished’ her son’s name – which was in the public domain, while the accused could not be named due to his age.
An application has been made by the Press to name the murderer which will be considered by the judge, Mrs Justice Ellenbogen, when he is sentenced in October.
