The 15 year old can now be named as Mohammed 'Umar' Khan

A judge has lifted restrictions preventing the teenaged killer of Sheffield schoolboy Harvey Willgoose being named.
The 15-year-old can now be identified as Mohammed 'Umar' Khan.
Due to the teenager's age, he had been given automatic anonymity in criminal court proceedings until the age of 18 - although the judge has now decided he can be named.
It comes as a sentencing hearing over the murder at Sheffield's All Saints Catholic High earlier this year continues.
Victim Harvey Willgoose's parents, Mark and Caroline, have been watching from the back row of the public gallery with other family members, including Harvey's sister, Sophie.
The defendant's family sat on the front row of the gallery, which looks down on the courtroom at Sheffield Crown Court.
