Ministry of Justice investigating claims killer of Sheffield teenager has access to social media
15-year-old Harvey Willgoose was stabbed to death on his lunch break back in February of 2025 at All Saints Catholic High school
The Ministry of Justice says it's completely unacceptable for offenders to use social media in custody as it investigates the killer of a Sheffield teenager.
Harvey Willgoose who was 15 was stabbed to death at school in February 2025 and his mum Caroline tells us she fears she's being trolled on Instagram by the teenager responsible.
Caroline says it's devastating:
"I hoped he did regret what he did to my son, but from what he's been putting online, he obviously doesn't.
"It breaks my heart - why have they got phones in prison anyway?
"He's destroyed so many lives - including his own.
"It doesn't seem like he's having a bad time in jail, whereas every day gets darker for us as a family.
"I don't really want to speak to him or think about Harvey's killer anymore.
"We need to be able to get on with our lives."
16-year-old Mohammed Umar Khan is currently serving a 16-year sentence for murdering Harvey on a lunch break at All Saints Catholic High in 2025.
A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said:
“Our thoughts remain with Harvey’s family following this terrible crime. It’s completely unacceptable for offenders to use social media from custody and those caught breaking the rules face tough punishments.
“We take these allegations seriously and will investigate. Appropriate action will be taken following this investigation.”
