Grieving Logan Mwangi's dad bravely fought back tears to reveal the text his ex sent him before murdering his son.
The five-year-old, who suffered 56 external injuries to his head, face, torso arms and legs from "blunt force trauma", was found with "severe injuries."
Logan's injuries were compared to a "high velocity" car crash as he was left abandoned like "fly-tipped rubbish" in a river as he was pulled from Ogmore River close to his home in South Wales.
