Harvey Willgoose, 15, collapsed after he was knifed three times by a fellow pupil, also 15.
The heartbroken mum and sister of a youngster who was stabbed to death outside a school has visited the murder scene as paid tribute to the "special" teen who was "loved by everyone".
The horrific attack was witnessed by boys and girls who ran for their lives as Harvey collapsed just after midday on Monday. Emergency crews battled to save his life but he died due to the catastrophic nature of his injuries. Caroline wrote: "Our Harvey, no words" with heartbroken emojis and images of them together in a Tik Tok post. In a second message, she added: "My Harvey, life is never gunner be the same. Love you so much.
A mum of one of Harvey's classmates told how she was left waiting for the 'longest two and a half hours' of her life to see her daughter. Katie Talbot said: "Children are the most precious thing in the world. Where are we if they are not safe at school? I was so frightened standing outside. It was horrendous, I was there for two and a half hours waiting and it was the longest two and a half hours of my life.
His mum Natalie Duffy, 47, added: "It's really sad, I went to All Saints as well. This is our community so we can't believe it." One mum spoke to one of her children but the other had to turn off her phone, which she described as "utter madness under the circumstances". She added: “It shouldn't be that easy to waltz into school with a knife.”
Parent Luisa Meco said her daughter had known Harvey since nursery and that his death shocked everyone. "It's not something you imagine, that your children go to school and then something like this happens," she said. "We just don't understand how it happened, it's just really shocking, sad, heart-breaking."
Others mourning the death gathered outside Sheffield United's stadium; a club is considering a lasting tribute to Harvey, a lifelong fan. Love hearts and a '15' in balloons and more than a dozen bunches of flowers have been left at Beighton Welfare Club, where Harvey's mum Caroline works.
