The mum of the Sheffield teenager Harvey Willgoose has pleaded with social media users to stop risking justice for her son by speculating over the identity of the 15-year-old charged with his murder.

Harvey sadly died after an apparent school stabbing in Sheffield on Monday, February 3, 2025.

A 15-year-old boy was charged with his murder and his trial is scheduled for later in the year.

The boy's identity is protected under UK law because he is under the age of 18. People breaching these laws risk jeopardising the case and risk prosecution for themselves.
