A sentencing date has been set for child killers found guilty of murdering Logan Mwangi who was dumped in a river after suffering fatal and catastrophic injuries. The four-year-old's mother Angharad Williamson, stepfather John Cole, and a youth defendant subjected him to a "brutal and sustained assault".
A harrowing trial at Cardiff Crown Court heard Logan sustained injuries usually seen in car crash victims prior to his death at his home in Sarn, Bridgend, before he was callously dumped in the River Ogmore in mismatched pyjamas by Cole and the youth. Williamson called the police the next morning and claimed Logan had gone missing while melodramatically performing the role of a concerned and distraught mother as her co-defendants searched the streets calling Logan's name.
The youngster's body was later found by police officers in the river and he was declared dead but as his cold, wet, and lifeless body lay in the hospital the defendants continued the charade. CCTV footage later showed Cole and the youth carrying Logan's dead body from the home in Lower Llansantffraid in the dead of night as Williamson flicked the light switch on and off and moved the curtains in Logan's room.
