A mother has been found guilty of murdering her five-year-old son alongside his step-father and a teenage boy.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]’s body was discovered in the River Ogmore in Sarn, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], last July, just a few hundred metres from the flat he shared with his family.
The child, also known as Logan Williamson, had suffered 56 “catastrophic” external injuries similar to those found in victims of high-speed crashes or a fall from a height.

His mother Angharad Williamson, 31, and her partner John Cole, 40, were convicted of murder 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 fell to the floor of the dock screaming “no, no, no” as she was found guilty of her son’s murder.
She struggled with the dock officers as she was led away, shouting at Cole: “You lying motherf****** murderer. You liar.”
Logan’s father Ben Mwangi was also in court to hear the jury return its verdicts.
The court previously heard Williamson reported Logan missing at 5.45am on 31 July 2021 and accused a woman, against whom she held a grudge, of abducting him.

Logan Mwangi was found wearing only his mis-matched pyjamas in the River Ogmore after he was murdered by his mother, step-father and a teenage boy
Logan was found wearing only mis-matched pyjamas in the river by police a short time later and was confirmed dead in hospital.
CCTV footage shown to the jury during the trial captured Cole and the teenage boy, who was 13 years old at the time, leaving the family’s address in the early hours of 31 July.
Cole was carrying something in his arms towards the river that he later confirmed was Logan’s dead body.
Experts said Logan’s injuries could have only been caused by a “brutal and sustained assault” inflicted in the hours, or days, prior to his death. They also said the injuries were “consistent with child abuse”.
In the months and weeks leading up to his death, Logan had been “dehumanised” by his family, prosecutors said.

In their own mind If Ramsey’s & McCann’s get away with it, we can surely do.

If many more of these 'abductions' are reported, it will soon be given a medical name, and the perps will have counselling for this extended Munchhausen by Proxy with added secondary complications.
