A knife-obsessed teenager who stabbed another pupil to death in his school can today be named as Mohammed Umar Khan.
The 15-year-old was found guilty of murdering Harvey Willgoose, also 15, during their lunch break at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield on February 3.
Khan inflicted a fatal stab to Harvey's heart during a nine-second confrontation in front of other pupils in the school courtyard at 12.15pm. The two boys had recently fallen out on social media.
He was convicted of murder in August following a trial at Sheffield Crown Court, when he failed to persuade a jury that his actions were manslaughter because bullying had led him to lose his control.
At the start of his sentencing hearing today, Mrs Justice Ellenbogen lifted a reporting restriction which has previously banned the press from naming the defendant, who was referred to as Umar throughout the trial.
Media organisations had argued the restrictions should be lifted because it would act as a deterrent to future offenders while increasingly public understanding of the scourge of knife crime.
The judge said: 'This was a serious crime carried out by one pupil against another on school property with a knife that was brought into school and was witnessed to varying degrees by other pupils and teachers.
'The public will wish to know the identity of those who commit serious offences in seeking to understand how a child of that age could do so.'
Born and raised in Sheffield, Khan hails from a Pakistani family, but has lived and been educated in the city for his entire life.
He was in the same school year as Harvey.
Khan will be jailed later today.
Harvey’s mother, Caroline, previously told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview that she blamed the school more than her son’s killer for his death.
The trial heard that Khan had a history of being bullied over a medical condition and became increasingly scared for his own personal safety in the months before the killing.
Police found his phone to be a catalogue of obsession: full of images and videos of him posing with his weapons or chasing people with them, as well as searches for all manner of weaponry.
On some clips he put drill rap music over the top and posted them on social media
In December last year, his mother found the axe in his gym bag and informed the school, who called the police. He was then visited by a police officer who warned him at length about the dangers of carrying weapons - but he insisted that the axe was not his.
Harvey, however, had barely attended school that term and only found himself the focus of Khan’s rage when he made the fatal mistake of supporting another boy with whom he had fallen out during a social media row.
It related to an incident in the school five days before the fatal stabbing, on January 29.
On that day, Khan tried to intervene in an altercation involving two other boys and had to be restrained by a teacher.
When he claimed one of these boys had a knife, a lockdown was declared and police were called, although no weapon was found.
Ms Willgoose said Khan’s involvement in the knife scare represented a critical missed opportunity and, at very least, he should have been searched when he arrived at school on February 3.
On the morning of the attack, CCTV from the school showed Khan in a series of escalating confrontations with Harvey, which the prosecution said were attempts to 'wind him up'.
Khan squared up to Harvey in a science lesson around an hour before the stabbing and gestured with his hand inside his jacket pocket 'like he had a knife'.
At 12.15pm, when the lunch break started, Harvey approached Khan in the school courtyard to confront him and he could be seen on CCTV pushing Khan’s shoulder.
Khan immediately produced a knife from a coat pocket and lunged at Harvey, twice.
The first stab wound pierced his heart and was dealt with such ferocity it broke through a rib, while the second was a more glancing blow as Harvey retreated.
The entire confrontation lasted just nine seconds. Within 49 seconds, Harvey had collapsed to the floor and slipped into unconsciousness.
The boy then told a teacher as he handed over the murder weapon: ‘I’m not right in the head. My mum doesn’t look after me right.’
In an exclusive interview with the Mail in August, Harvey’s mother Caroline Willgoose has launched a blistering attack on her son’s school - claiming they missed a litany of red flags about his killer.
The Mail revealed a concerned parent contacted All Saints as far back as October 2024 after hearing Khan had been showing other pupils an axe in school.
But the school apparently failed to take any action against the pupil, with no reference made to it in his official school record, despite the parent being told the matter would be investigated.
The revelations suggest the school was aware of the killer’s dangerous fixation with weapons months earlier than previously realised.
Ms Willgoose said: ‘I blame them. I blame them more than him. There were so many flags.’
