THE heartbroken family of schoolboy Harvey Willgoose have laid tributes at the scene of the 15-year-old's death in Sheffield. The tragic teenager was stabbed at All Saints Catholic School in Granville Road just after midday on Monday. Mum Caroline and sister Sophie placed flowers and read emotional tributes during their visit this afternoon. Horrified pupils watched on when he was knifed three times in a school courtyard yesterday.

Teachers raced to give emergency first aid as the school was put inlockdown and an air ambulance flew in. The lad was taken to hospital but he died soon after arrival. A 15-year-old pupil was detained by police and taken into custody. He was last night being quizzed on suspicion of murder. The stabbing happened at 12.17pm as pupils moved between classes. It was claimed the pair had exchanged threatening messages before the incident.

And it came after the school went into lockdown last Wednesday. after a pupil was alleged to have taken a blade in. His sister Sophie said: "My heart is broken into a million pieces.". She posted on Facebook: "I love you so much Harvey... Hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight cos I wish I could.". Harvey's grieving mother Caroline displayed photos of her son on TikTok and wrote: "No words.". One furious parent said: "How can the school have allowed this to happen today?".

By Holly Christodoulou, Digital Court Editor. USUALLY, a suspect who is arrested over a crime will not be named as the media is at risk of Contempt of Court. This means that legally, anything that is published could cause a substantial risk of prejudice in case of a trial further down the line. It is only in very rare cases that those in police custody will be identified as some suspects could later find themselves in the clear, which then causes a defamation risk.

Once proceedings become "active" - i.e. someone is charged - the police or the Crown Prosecution Service will name the suspect and release their age and address. This will also appear on charge sheets and be heard in open court throughout the case. However, with the Sheffield school stabbing, the boy held by police is only aged 15. This means that even from the point of a charge - proceedings being active - we would not be able to name him.

He is protected under section 49 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933. This applies to any defendants who are aged under 18 and means their identity cannot be revealed. Once they turn 18, unless any special reporting restrictions are placed by a judge, they can be named. In some circumstances, when a person is found guilty or admits their crime, they may be unmasked in court regardless of their age.

This will sometimes happen pre-conviction too as in the case of Axel Rudakubana. He was 17 at the point of his first court appearance but a judge lifted the reporting restriction as he was six days from his 18th birthday anyway. In an update today, South Yorkshire Police warned communities "avoid online speculation" regarding the identity of the suspect. A statement added: "At the heart of this devastation is a grieving family and they deserve respect and privacy during this difficult time.".

Sheffield Heeley Labour MP Louise Haigh said: "Serious questions will have to be answered.". A fellow pupil paid tribute to the killed teenager. The 17-year-old said: "He was such a lovely lad, he was cheeky, but was lovely. "He would make your day better hearing him down that hallway. Teachers loved him, students loved him, everyone loved him.". Describing the ordeal as "stressful" one pupil, 14, spoke after returning to the scene with her mum to lay flowers.

She said she was kept in the hall for more than three hours as police swarmed in. Talking as she stood next to her mum, she said: "Some people were in the sports hall, some people in different classrooms. "It was the beginning of lunch about 12.10. We got kind of of bored in there, I was in the hall and it was so hot in there because all the radiators were on. "It's hard to believe, it was stressful.".

A neighbour of the victim, standing beside a shrine of flowers and. candles outside his family home, said: "He went to school this morning and has not come home. "He always seemed to have a smile on his face. So sad.". Another neighbour said: "He and his dad were huge Sheffield United. fans. It is just too awful for words.". A spokesman for the force 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 yesterday (Monday, February 3) to ensure justice can be secured for the victim and his family.

"Identifying a suspect can prejudice court proceedings and risk a fair and accurate trial. "At the heart of this devastation is a grieving family and they deserve respect and privacy during this difficult time. "We will take action against anyone who poses a risk to proceedings. Please consider what you share online and the implications.". A Sheffield United Football Club spokesperson said: "All at Sheffield United were saddened to learn of the passing of Harvey, our deepest condolences are offered to his family and friends at this difficult time.
