The scenes outside Logan Mwangi's home as people gather in tears

A grief-stricken community has come together to mourn a sweet and loving schoolboy who was murdered at the hands of a group of vicious killers which included his own mum. Five-year-old Logan Mwangi had been subjected to a “brutal and sustained assault” prior to his death and suffered the kind of injuries usually seen in car crash victims before his body was dumped in the River Ogmore.

Logan's mother Angharad Williamson, 31, of Lower Llansantffraid, Sarn, Bridgend, and stepdad John Cole, 40, of Maesglas, Ynysawdre, Bridgend, and a third defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons due to his age, were all found guilty today (Thursday, April 21) of murder following a trial at Cardiff Crown Court.

Cole only came into Logan’s life in 2019 after starting a relationship with his mum, and prosecutors said his history of racism could have been motivation for his cruel treatment of the five-year-old. Angharad Williamson went from a luxury life as a stockbroker's daughter to a self-confessed "sh*t mother", according to her testimony in court.
