Family pay tribute to teenager stabbed to death at Sheffield school Boy, 15, arrested over attack on Harvey Willgoose, also 15, at All Saints Catholic high school.
South Yorkshire police said: “We are urging our communities to avoid online speculation and identifying anyone who they believe to be involved in the tragic incident at All Saints Catholic high school to ensure justice can be secured for the victim and his family.
On Tuesday, South Yorkshire police said they were urging communities to avoid sharing online names they had heard in relation to the crime, as names began to trend on various social media sites, including TikTok.
Shortly after, the assistant chief constable, Lindsey Butterfield, said police were aware it had caused “significant distress and concern” to local people and that “our officers will remain on scene and in the local area to offer reassurance to parents, staff and local residents as our investigation continues”.
The school was in lockdown during the incident, in which police said Harvey was seriously injured and “despite the best efforts of medical personnel was sadly pronounced dead”.
