The sister of a Sheffield boy - who was stabbed to death last week - has been describing the 'harrowing' moment she found out something serious had happened to her younger brother.

Sophie Willgoose's 15-year-old brother Harvey died after he was attacked with a knife at All Saints Catholic High School last Monday.

She's been telling us about her experiences of that traumatic day:

"I was in a meeting at work and my manager interrupted it.

"I wondered what was going on, but he sat me down and told me Harvey had been stabbed at All Saints and that I needed to go immediately.

"I was then frantically trying to get in touch with everyone, but nobody was answering their phone.

"I finally got in touch with my dad, who shot straight over.

"I remember coming down Granville Road - and it wasn't until I saw the amount of police at the scene that it hit me, and I thought 'he's gone' - it's been so hard to process."

A 15-year-old boy - charged with Harvey's murder - is next due to appear in court in April - & has been remanded into youth detention accommodation until then.
