This footage shows the contrasting reactions of Logan Mwangi’s killers as they were arrested on suspicion of murder. They reacted with disbelief and distress in an elaborate performance to throw police off the scent.
Stepfather John Cole, 40, mother Angharad Williamson, 31, and a youth were convicted of the five-year-old’s murder in Bridgend following a trial at Cardiff Crown Court. During the trial the jury was shown body-worn footage taken by the arresting officers who visited Cole’s house in Maesglas, Ynysawdre, on August 1. This was the day after Logan’s body was discovered in the River Ogmore following a report by Williamson to the police he had gone missing.
All three defendants were separately spoken to and arrested on suspicion of Logan’s murder. Cole quietly responded to the caution with: “What?” and quickly left with the arresting officers. Williamson broke down into tears and began wailing, saying: “I haven’t done anything., I ask for your help and now you’re blaming me." The youth aggressively swore at the officers but upon being told he was arrested on suspicion of murder he sat emotionless. All three were sentenced on Thursday. You can recap all the details from that here.
