I desperately wanted a little fairytale family'
Angharad Williamson, who is in the witness box, said she met John Cole at the Railway Inn pub in Bridgend in 2019. She said: “We were getting on lovely, chatting and drinking.”
When asked if Cole was in a relationship Williamson said: “He said it was complicated.”
She added: “We slept together on the first night – it was a one-night stand and it continued from there.”
From then on Williamson said Cole would regularly come to the flat. Her barrister Peter Rouch QC said: “How was the relationship between you and Mr Cole?” Williamson said: “Perfect.”
She added: “I felt like I had failed Logan because his biological father wasn’t around and Jordan didn’t turn out to be a good person. I desperately wanted a little fairytale family.”
Mr Rouch said: “Did the relationship change at all?”
Williamson said: “It was quite good in summer months but things changed towards the end of the summer months…. It was after I came back from London things changed.”
Mr Rouch said: “Whilst you were away in London did you have contact with John Cole?”
Williamson said: “We did….. I video-called him…. He was bombarding me with a lot of calls, I was seeing my Dad, getting Logan to see his dad, and I wasn’t able to pick up all the calls.”
Mr Rouch said: “Was there a relationship with Ben Mwangi in those days?”
Williamson said: “No there wasn’t.”
Mr Rouch said: “What was Mr Cole’s attitude towards you?”
Williamson said: “Very cold. I felt like I was interrogated a lot….He then decided to interrogare Logan…. I said: 'You can talk to Logan'. He went in the kitchen and spoke to Logan but I could hear him doing leading questions… ‘Did you see mummy and daddy kissing yes?’... If you lead a three-year-old like that of course they’re going to agree…. It was a constant row that kept going on, until literally just before Logan passed….
“Jay would literally start an argument and get annoyed with Logan and he said Logan would bring up London and would do it to wind him up…. A three-year-old doesn’t have an agenda.”
She added: “It was because of his guilt because he had an affair with another man while I was in London.”
Mr Rouch said: “Did you hear Logan refer to [London]?”
Williamson said: “No never, I only heard it from John Cole saying Logan was trying to wind him up.”
