Logan Mwangi's mum and stepfather guilty of murdering boy, 5

The mum and stepfather of a five-year-old boy whose battered body was found dumped in a river have been found guilty of his murder.

John Cole, 40, and Angharad Williamson, 31, of Sarn, Bridgend, were convicted of killing Logan Mwangi by a jury of five men and seven women at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday after five hours of deliberation. A 14-year-old boy, who cannot be named because of his age, was also found guilty of murder.

Williamson screamed “no, no, no” as the verdicts were returned. Judge Mrs Justice Jefford had to interrupt the jury and the clerk to tell Williamson to be quiet before the verdict against the youth was given. She said: “Out of respect for your son and the youth please be quiet for the verdicts."
