Boy, 15, who killed schoolboy named and pictured
A 15-year-old boy who murdered teenager Harvey Willgoose at school has been named as Mohammed Umar Khan.
Khan had received automatic anonymity due to his age but a judge has now agreed to lift the order banning his identification.
He is due to be sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court today.
Mr Willgoose, died after being stabbed in the heart at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield on February 3.

Khan had taken a hunting knife to school and attacked the teenager in front of horrified children.
Sheffield Crown Court heard how other pupils fled “in fear and panic”, some locking themselves in a cupboard.
The jury in Khan’s trial was shown CCTV footage of the incident which showed how he stabbed Harvey twice.
One of these blows cut through one of his ribs and pierced his heart.
Jurors heard how Khan told All Saints’ headteacher immediately after the stabbing: “I’m not right in the head. My mum doesn’t look after me right.”

The school’s assistant head took the knife from the defendant and heard him say “you know I can’t control it”, which the teacher took to be a reference to his anger issues, given previous incidents of violent behaviour at school.
The jury was told how Harvey and Khan fell out following an incident in the school on January 29, five days before the fatal stabbing.
