Accused 'couldn't face' accompanying son's body to mortuary
The next witness is DC Clare Edwards, a trained family liaison officer, who is being questioned by prosecutor Caroline Rees QC.
DC Edwards had gone to the Princess of Wales Hospital alongside DC Griffiths where they spoke to Angharad Williamson in the family room.
"She told us she would do whatever it takes for us to find out what happened to him – we could search her house and she would consent to anything," says DC Edwards.
The officer recalls being told Logan had watched Pokemon the night before and gone to sleep in his own bed.
Williamson said the back door hadn't been "locking properly" and "you had to slam it".
DC Edwards recalls Williamson saying she had made her way to hospital with a hospital bag, expecting to see Logan alive, but that he was dead.
"She said he never went off on his own or suffered from sleepwalking," the officer adds. "She said we should arrest her because if she had made sure the back door was locked none of this would have happened."
The only injury Williamson recalled Logan having was a graze to his arm, says the officer.
DC Edwards adds: "She seemed to be quite agitated. During the conversation she was getting up to answer her phone all the time, leaving the room.
"Although she did seem to be wailing a lot, making noises of crying or sobbing, there were very little or no tears during the time I was with her."
When she saw Logan's body DC Edwards says she noticed bruising on his face.
The officer has become upset giving evidence so she has taken a brief break to take a sip of water and compose herself.
Ms Rees asks: "Had it been agreed Ms Williamson would walk alongside Logan as he was taken to the mortuary?"
DC Edwards says: "Yes."
Ms Rees says: "Did she do that?"
The officer replies: "No. She told me she couldn't face it and she needed to go home."
The officer recalls Williamson asking her to make sure Logan was wrapped up in his blanket with his toy because she did not want him to be cold.
She says Williamson made this request before leaving the hospital because she could not "face" accompanying the body to the mortuary.

'I had my arm around Angharad, cwtching her'
Emergency department nurse Rosie O’Neill is called to give evidence and is being questioned by prosecutor Caroline Rees QC.
Ms O'Neill, who worked in the Princess of Wales Hospital, recalls volunteering to help resuscitate a little boy who had been found in a river.
She says a Dr Dyer did CPR on Logan. She says it was clear that Logan had died so CPR stopped.
Ms O'Neill recalls Logan was wearing black pyjama bottoms with "bright neon colour" dinosaurs dotted around the clothing.
She says he had bruising "in the middle of his head," just above his eyebrow and on his collarbone, knee, and stomach.
Ms O'Neill recalls Williamson attended the hospital with an "Olaf pillow" which had Logan's name embroidered on it.
"She was frantic and wailing as I would have thought any grieving mother would be in that situation. She wouldn't come into the doors and her legs seemed to be giving way."
The nurse adds: "I had my arm around Angharad, cwtching her."
Ms Rees asks: "When Angharad went in did she say anything?"
Ms O'Neill replies: "She said: 'My baby, my baby... I should have taught him how to swim.'"
The nurse says she could hear wailing but not observe any tears.
She adds: "At first Angharad wanted to call her brother. She tried him twice but couldn't get through so she then called John Cole. The phone was on speaker, loud. Angharad said something along the lines of: 'It's Logan'. The person on the other end was quite calm, saying: 'Don't worry... we will get through this as a family.'"
Ms O'Neill said that Williamson pointed out that Logan didn't have shoes on. "She said he never goes outside without his shoes or his socks."
Ms Rees asked: "After she spoke to police did you notice a change in Angharad?"
Ms O'Neill replied: "It was almost like something changed. She was quite aggressive with a nasty streak about her."
She recalls Williamson seemed "frightened" to touch Logan's body with her hand hovering above him. She claims Williamson kissed his forehead but only after "making sure I was watching and seeing that she was being affectionate to Logan."

'Why would I want to contact you?'
Hospital nurse Rosie O'Neill, who is in the witness box, says Angharad Williamson "didn't say thank you" after she had spent several hours with her.
When the subject of ongoing support was discussed she tells the court Williamson said: "Why would I want to contact you?"
During cross-examination Ms O'Neill says she did not know what police had been discussing with Williamson before her "demeanour changed".
She said people were different and had their own ways of grieving but added it was her view that Williamson was "making a point" of kissing Logan.
