Hospital visit in 2020
The next topic is Logan’s visit to the Princess of Wales Hospital on August 16, 2020.

It was agreed Logan was taken to the hospital by Williamson for a dislocated shoulder which he sustained at 5pm on August 15.

Williamson had tried to put it back in place, put it in a sling and gave Logan Calpol.

Logan was seen to have a swollen left arm and significant bruising to skull, chest and left arm. He had sustained a fracture to his left humerus in the upper arm.

Williamson gave an account of events to police on August 16.

On January 21, 2021, Williamson called the police via 101 and during the call she confessed the youth defendant had pushed Logan down the stairs in 2020.

I wonder what triggered her to phone 101 on that day? And why Logan being assaulted 5 months before was relevant in that call?

Covid 19
The next topic is Covid-19.

On July 21, 2021, John Cole received a text message on Angharad Williamson’s phone confirming his Covid test was negative but still needed to isolate for 10 days due to being a close contact of a positive contact.

So according to AW, Logan had Covid twice within about 6 weeks.

So according to AW, Logan had Covid twice within about 6 weeks.

That was my initial thought…however under the old rules he might have been negative but had to isolate as someone in the household had Covid

 

[Sherlockhames]

So according to AW, Logan had Covid twice within about 6 weeks.

Yeah - that’s odd and seems quite unlikely. Could it be a garbled incorrect report and he was absent but due to being required to isolate due to contact with someone with covid rather than testing positive himself at that point? The next set of agreed facts seems to point to there being a text confirming he had a positive covid test. But the same is not mentioned in June…

Forensics
Forensic examination of Logan’s discarded dinosaur pyjama top revealed it had been torn into three parts.

The first part was the back of the garment including the collar, which was grubby with mud and had no visible blood staining.

The second part was most of the front of the garment and collar, which was grubby with mud and had no visible blood staining

The third part was a whole sleeve and sleeve cuff, grubby with mud with no visible blood staining.

There was significant damage to the garment but it was not possible to say whether the damage had been caused while it was being worn.

Logan’s DNA was found in the garment but no matches were found linking it to the three defendants.

If I had to guess, I’d say they needed to keep him out of school. I think maybe this is why it’s relevant.

Ref: John Cole self medicating for anxiety and depression - does this refer to substance abuse, or not necessarily?

 

[nothinonyou]

bruising to her thighs is interesting. a toddler would be about that height when trying to defend itself
