A TEEN has been charged with the murder of a 15-year-old boy who was stabbed to death at a school. Harvey Willgoose died following the horror at All Saints Catholic High School, in Sheffield, on Monday. The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed a 15-year-old has been charged over Harvey's death. Chris Hartley, Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for the CPS Yorkshire and Humberside, said: "The Crown Prosecution Service has reviewed a file of evidence from South Yorkshire Police.

"We have authorised South Yorkshire Police to charge a 15-year-old with murder in relation to the death of Harvey Willgoose, 15, at All Saints Catholic High School on 3 February. "He has also been charged with possession of a bladed article and one count of affray. "The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that the youth has a right to a fair trial.

"It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.". Harvey was making his way to lessons when he was stabbed three times in front of his terrified classmates. Heroic teachers raced to perform emergency first aid as the school was placed on lockdown. Harvey was rushed to hospital in a serious condition but tragically died soon after arriving.

Tributes have flooded in for the schoolboy from his devastated friends and family. His family said: "We are utterly heartbroken at the loss of our beautiful boy, Harvey Goose. "Our lives are devastated and will never be the same again. We have lost a beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, nephew and most importantly, a best friend to all. "Harvey will be forever known for being a caring, loving and funny young man.".

Mum Caroline and sister Sophie placed flowers and read emotional tributes as they visited the school on Tuesday. Harvey was described as "one of the sweetest souls" by fellow pupils at All Saints' Catholic School. Flowers, balloons, an England flag and a card have all been left at the gates. Sheffield United, who Harvey supported, also paid tribute. The club 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.

"We share the shock and distress of the community following this tragic incident and appreciate that discussions are underway with regards to tributes to remember Harvey.". 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.".

PM Sir Keir Starmer said: "My heart goes out to the family and. loved ones of the boy, the staff and students at the school, and the. entire community of Sheffield. "They are grieving the needless loss of a young life and the nation mourns with them. "Our schools should be places of safety and learning, not violence and fear. "Tonight a young boy should be returning to the love and safety of. his family.

"We stand and work together against the devastating consequences of knife crime, so no more families know this tragic loss.". 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.
