A 15-year-old boy was found guilty on August 8 of murdering a fellow pupil at All Saints Catholic High School in Sheffield, England, the BBC reports.
The victim, Harvey Willgoose, also 15, died after being stabbed in the heart with a hunting knife during the lunch break on February 3. The attack followed a confrontation earlier that day and a dispute on social media.
The defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted manslaughter and possession of a knife but denied murder. A Sheffield Crown Court jury convicted him of murder by a majority verdict of 11-1 after a month-long trial.
He is due to be sentenced in October.
