Before we called the police we agreed on what would be said'
Defendant John Cole is asked by Angharad Williams' barrister, Peter Rouch QC, about evidence from a neighbour who heard a woman shouting: “What have you done to my son” and heard a man responding: “I haven’t done anything to your son…. He may be with someone else."
Mr Rouch said: “Did you say that?” Cole said: “No.”
Mr Rouch said: “Did Angharad say: ‘Why is he with her? If he is with her, why?’.”
Cole said: “In the morning when we reported Logan missing we put on a load of theatrics for the neighbours and [the youth]. We reported him missing and we knew it was wrong.”
Mr Rouch claims Cole told Williamson that Logan may have been taken by the woman Williamson later told police had taken Logan Cole said: “I never said that.” He added: “Before we called the police we agreed on what would be said."
Concluding his cross-examination, Mr Rouch said: “On that Friday when his room was decontaminated and sheets being washed his bed was made for him as it would for any five-year-old child.”
Cole said: “His sheet did not go back on his bed. I’m admitting to perverting the course of justice so why wouldn’t I admit to washing a sheet? I’ve admitted to carrying a dead body.”
Mr Rouch has finished his questions.
