"Harvey'd killer was today
found guilty of murder
at Sheffield Crown Court,
after failing to persuade a jury
that his actions were manslaughter because bullying had led him to lose his control.
Now,
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.
A concerned parent contacted All Saints as far back as October 2024
after hearing the defendant 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 trial heard that the defendant had a history of explosive outbursts.
He smashed a computer screen on one occasion,
and punched a hole in a wall on another.
He had bought several knives and an axe in the months before the killing
and posted menacing videos and pictures of himself posing with them on social media,
including some taken on school premises."
