I can't read all of this. It breaks my heart to think he was left in bed, bleeding, to die.

Yes.
He seems to play his disability card: poor hearing, poor memory, etc.

I think all 3 have assaulted Logan in the days leading up to his death and I think that perhaps, they've all pre-agreed that each will blame ONE other - 'if they can't prove which one of us killed him, we'll all get off' ... if, that was their plan then that's going to backfire!
I don't think they intended to murder Logan that night though and it reminds me very much of Mikaeel Kular in Scotland, his mother punched him in the back multiple times while he was leant over the side of the bath, vomiting - it cause him internal injuries - she then put him to bed not fully realising just how bad his injuries were and found him dead and launched into a cover up.

Ah man, his little face.
So far it seems to me he was abused by both adults and the teenager
. Healed fractures, torn jim jams. But it also seems to me most likely from the opening that the teen was responsible for the final terrible battering which led to his death. No wonder a social worker was visiting. JMO.

999 call played to jurors
The court is played the 999 call made by Angharad Williamson.
Angharad Williamson has her head bowed in the dock and appears to be sobbing throughout the 13 minute phone call.
Here is a transcript of her part of the call:
Williamson said: “Please please help me…
W: “My son, I don’t know he’s not here….
Operator:“Where are you?...”
When asked where she lives she says: “5 Lower Llansantffraid, Sarn…
W: “Send somebody, he’s not here. My son, he’s my baby and he’s not here….I tucked him in last night and I have got up and he’s not here.”
She shouts: “Logan, Logan, Logan.”
The defendant continues: “Where is he?...
O: “What’s his name?”
W: “Logan Williamson, please… he’s five, please….He’s a little mixed race boy, he’s got his Spidey pyjamas on….
The operator asks were her partner is.
W: “Yeah my partner, he’s looking now….The doors and window weren’t open. Someone tell me what….My back gate is open, my back gate is open…. I don’t know what the road’s called…..I walk, I’m walking up now. It’s concrete…. You’ve got to find him now….”
Williamson makes reference to a baby
She said: “Are you sending someone please?...”
O: “We’re going to flood the area with officers.”
W: “He’s never done anything like this… My fiance and partner… John Cole, his stepdad but virtually dad. And (the youth). They’re looking now…Logan had Covid for the past week. He’s been in lockdown the past week with Covid….He’s never had symptoms…Please help me, this is my baby…I just can’t stand here and do nothing… Where is he?... I just can’t stand here…Please, I’m begging you, please. He’s my baby.”
Williamson refers to a woman and blames her for Logan’s disappearance.
W: “I bet she’s done this.”
The defendant appears to be speaking to a passer-by. She said: “Excuse me, have you seen my son? Thank you. Where are they?...
W: “Isolation was lifted today. He’s supposed to be going out now…..”
She’s asked by the operator if Logan has a favourite place to go.
Williamson said: “Oh my friend Rhi’s, oh I can’t think, oh hang on, oh hang on.”
She begins hyperventilating.
Williamson said: “My son is missing… Where are they, please ….”
She’s asked about Logan’s biological father
The defendant said: “No, he’s not seen him in three years. He lives all the way in London. He can see him whenever he wants, he just chooses not to.”
She again accuses the woman of having Logan.
W: “Please, where is everybody, nobody is here.”
She shouts: “Logan, Logan. I just can’t stand here. Where are you? No, where is he?…He’s five he can’t be out here on his own, there’s no parent with him, he must be scared.”
The operator tries to reassure Williamson and tells them police are looking for Logan and will find him
W: “I don’t see anyone….(The woman) it’s got to be her….. We have had alarms on the doors, I don’t know how this has happened. I’ve got window alarms and I have got…. How has this happened?….

There’s a whole park here, I can’t go and look.”
She shouts: “Logan.”
When asked to calm down, she said: “I think it’s a lot easier said than done, I woke up and my son’s missing from my house….
“Oh please bring somebody here to help, I want my baby here, please.”
The operator asks if the police have arrived.
Williamson said: “He’s here, he’s here. Help me please. Yeah I see the ………..
“I don’t know where he is, I don’t know where he is….
“Please help me, oh please. We need to look please.”

The court is played the 999 call made by Angharad Williamson.
Angharad Williamson has her head bowed in the dock and appears to be sobbing throughout the 13 minute phone call.
Here is a transcript of her part of the call:
Williamson said: “Please please help me…
W: “My son, I don’t know he’s not here….
Operator:“Where are you?...”
When asked where she lives she says: “5 Lower Llansantffraid, Sarn…
W: “Send somebody, he’s not here. My son, he’s my baby and he’s not here….I tucked him in last night and I have got up and he’s not here.”
She shouts: “Logan, Logan, Logan.”
The defendant continues: “Where is he?...
O: “What’s his name?”
W: “Logan Williamson, please… he’s five, please….He’s a little mixed race boy, he’s got his Spidey pyjamas on….
The operator asks were her partner is.
W: “Yeah my partner, he’s looking now….The doors and window weren’t open. Someone tell me what….My back gate is open, my back gate is open…. I don’t know what the road’s called…..I walk, I’m walking up now. It’s concrete…. You’ve got to find him now….”
Williamson makes reference to a baby
She said: “Are you sending someone please?...”
O: “We’re going to flood the area with officers.”
W: “He’s never done anything like this… My fiance and partner… John Cole, his stepdad but virtually dad. And (the youth). They’re looking now…Logan had Covid for the past week. He’s been in lockdown the past week with Covid….He’s never had symptoms…Please help me, this is my baby…I just can’t stand here and do nothing… Where is he?... I just can’t stand here…Please, I’m begging you, please. He’s my baby.”
Williamson refers to a woman and blames her for Logan’s disappearance.
W: “I bet she’s done this.”
The defendant appears to be speaking to a passer-by. She said: “Excuse me, have you seen my son? Thank you. Where are they?...
W: “Isolation was lifted today. He’s supposed to be going out now…..”
She’s asked by the operator if Logan has a favourite place to go.
Williamson said: “Oh my friend Rhi’s, oh I can’t think, oh hang on, oh hang on.”
She begins hyperventilating.
Williamson said: “My son is missing… Where are they, please ….”
She’s asked about Logan’s biological father
The defendant said: “No, he’s not seen him in three years. He lives all the way in London. He can see him whenever he wants, he just chooses not to.”
She again accuses the woman of having Logan.
W: “Please, where is everybody, nobody is here.”
She shouts: “Logan, Logan. I just can’t stand here. Where are you? No, where is he?…He’s five he can’t be out here on his own, there’s no parent with him, he must be scared.”
