The 15 -year -old boy is guilty of killing the teenager at the British school stabbing in the middle of the knife figure in the United Kingdom

A 15 -year -old boy was guilty of the murder of another teenager at a British school stabbing, the latest in a series of Knife crimes deaths from the United Kingdom involving children.

The boy, who cannot be appointed due to his age, admitted the murder of Harvey Willgoose, also 15 years old, but denied the murder in a judicial hearing in the northern city of Sheffield.

Willgoose died after he was stabbed on the land of the All Saints Catholic School in the city on February 3.

Judge, Jeremy Richardson, addressed the child, who was flanked by security personnel and an intermediary, the BBC reported.

“A jury will decide whether you are guilty or not guilty of the most serious murder position,” said the judge, before asking if he understood what he had said during the hearing.

The judge ordered the adolescent to be held in the arrest of young people until he is tried on June 30.

A hearing from the previous court heard that Willgoose was stabbed twice in the chest while he was at lunch at school, according to the BBC. Willgoose’s parents have campaigned against the crime of knife and said they wanted to establish a youth club in Sheffield in their memory, the BBC reported.
