The tragic death of 15-year-old Harvey Willgoose after a stabbing at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield has sent shockwaves through the community. His mother has shared his heartbreaking final words, describing him as a beloved son who 'loved football' and dreamed of becoming an actor. The incident occurred on Monday, February 3rd, leading to the arrest and charging of another 15-year-old boy with murder, possession of a bladed article, and affray. A court hearing revealed the severity of the attack, with the knife penetrating Harvey's rib and heart. The defendant was remanded into youth detention and will appear in crown court on Thursday.
The mother of Sheffield school stabbing victim Harvey Willgoose has revealed his heartbreaking final words. Harvey Willgoose died on Monday after being injured at All Saints Catholic High School in Granville Road, at about 12.17pm. Another 15-year-old boy appeared at Sheffield Youth Court on Wednesday charged with murder, possession of a bladed article, and affray. The court heard the knife 'went through rib and punctured his heart' following an altercation.
Harvey's mother, Caroline, has since revealed that his final words to her before he headed to school that day were: 'I love you.' She described her son as 'the life and soul of the party' and 'a joy to be around.' 'He loved football, football was his life. He was going to be an actor at one point, I think he would have been good at it,' she said. Harvey's father, Mark, told the BBC that his son was his 'best pal' and a 'loveable rogue'. He added: 'We need to learn from this so no-one goes through what we have as a family.' The defendant, who cannot be named because of his age, was remanded into youth detention accommodation by District Judge Tim Spruce to appear before the city's crown court on Thursday. The judge told the teenager, who sat in the dock with his head bowed throughout the hearing: 'You will be aware that you are charged with offences arising from an incident on Monday the 3rd of February. 'There is an allegation that you murdered Harvey Willgoose on that date. 'It is early days in this investigation but this allegation involves a knife, a hunting knife, being taken into school and used to stab another pupil in broad daylight, resulting in the death of that pupil.' Prosecutor Rob Coyne said a lockdown incident at the school which occurred the week prior 'did not directly involve' the defendant or Harvey. The school had gone into lockdown after there were 'threats of violence' between pupils, parents were told on January 29. On Tuesday afternoon, Harvey's mother, Caroline, and other family members visited the school where flowers, balloons, and cards were left for the popular pupil. A mass will be held for Harvey at St Joseph's church in Handsworth at 10am on Saturday
