Don’t know I just don’t feel she knew how much little Logan was suffering. She should’ve got him help though so she’s definitely guilty of allowing him to die. Ah I dont know it’s such a confusing case
Have you read the list of severe injuries he had? I think it would be impossible for her not to see how seriously ill he was.
His internal injuries were quite severe. He would have been in severe pain and he would not have been up running around, jumping over baby gates or helping her clean his room, and all that.
Logan Mwangi: jury hears of boy’s horrific injuries before alleged murder
George Lammie, a neuropathologist who examined Logan’s brain, said the trauma caused widespread bleeding and swelling. Asked what symptoms such injuries would cause, Lammie said: “If the brain continues to swell, brain dysfunction may manifest rapidly.
This may manifest in headaches, nausea and vomiting, confusion or reduction in consciousness level. And if it continues it will cause a coma and then death.”
There appears to have been a significant period of survival after head injury and after critical reduction in blood to the brain. It appears to have been at least several hours. And it’s possible that there was more than one episode of head injury.”
The jury was told that Logan also had a broken collar bone, which showed signs of healing, though it was knitting together poorly. The pathologist said this injury was “at least several weeks old”.
'Murdered Logan Mwangi suffered injuries similar to car crash or fall from height of more than 10ft' | Daily Mail Online
A five-year-old boy allegedly murdered by his mother and stepfather
suffered 'extreme pain' and received injuries similar to a car crash or a fall from height more than 10ft, a top paediatrician said in court today.
Cardiff Crown Court heard the youngster suffered damage to his brain that could have been caused up to 38 hours before his death.
Dr Stalker said: 'Logan had very severe abdominal injuries.
She was asked how much pain was suffered by Logan before he died.
Dr Stalker said: 'It would be very nasty.'
The doctor said children who have experienced these injuries would have been given morphine to deal with the pain and paracetamol would not have been enough to treat it.
Dr Stalker said: 'He would cry and maybe scream, he certainly wouldn't have been silent. What we don't know is if he was conscious.
'It makes me come to the opinion this was non-accidental.'
Logan sustained multiple bruises to his chest, belly button and abdominal muscles.
The court heard Logan, who was 3ft 5in tall, had a total of 56 separate injures to his body including 'deep slap bruising' to his head.
The injuries were so severe they would be expected to be seen in a high-speed car smash or a fall over 10ft.
His mother cried in the dock as she heard her son suffered from hypoxic-ischaemic
brain injury as well as a torn liver and bowel.
