US EditionBoy, 15, who murdered Harvey Willgoose sentenced to life with minimum term of 16 years
- On sentencing day, Sheffield Crown Court ordered Mohammed Umar Khan to life with a minimum term of 16 years after a majority verdict of 11 to one.
- At All Saints Catholic High School, Sheffield, Mohammed Umar Khan brought a 13cm hunting knife and stabbed Harvey Willgoose twice after they had 'fronted up' to one another in prior confrontations.
- CCTV footage reviewed by prosecutors showed the attacker trying to provoke Harvey while calm and holding a knife in the canteen; Richard Thyne KC said Khan had previously brought an axe and a knife onto school premises.
- Sophie Willgoose told the court `The defendant didn't just end Harvey's life, he ended ours too. Our mental health has been destroyed`, urging schools to be brave enough to discuss knife crime.
- Defence lawyers argued Khan had 'lost control' after years of bullying and an 'intense period of fear at school'; teachers were told by the defendant he felt `you know I can't control it` and `I'm not right in the head`.
