maybe aw is having a seizure

 

[Legal]

Maybe they're discussing the youth first. Seems like AW has been told to keep quiet.

I think they’ll wait until after the sentencing, and then publish the Judge’s remarks in full

I'm glad AW has a similar sentence to JC, the judge saw straight through her behaviour

 

[Alyce]

Am impressed that AW got a similar sentence - I thought she would get 20 maximum. Good that that Judge has acknowledged she was equally, if not more, culpable.

Surprised though that JC didn't get 30 plus

I agree. In prison till 2050. I'm sure the world will be a very different place by then.

A 14-year-old boy was also sentenced. He cannot be named at this time for legal reasons.

Interesting that the judge made an interjection about Logan's size when the prosecuting QC mentioned his vulnerability.

Here are Mrs Justice Jefford’s sentencing remarks. She said: “Shortly after 6am on Saturday, July 31, 2021, the lifeless body of Logan Mwangi was found in the River Ogmore near to his home in Sarn. He was five years old and was described by everyone who knew him as a wonderful child. Bright, chatty and artistic. A little boy who could light up a room. There is no word for his death other than it was a tragedy.”
She referred to words of Ben Mwangi who described Logan as “the sweetest and most beautiful boy whose life has been tragically cut short. The world is a colder and darker place without this warm smile and the happy energy with which he lived his life.” She added: “The effect on Ben Mwangi and his family has been devastating.”

Interesting that the judge made an interjection about Logan's size when the prosecuting QC mentioned his vulnerability.

The judge, Mrs Justice Jefford, interjected that Logan was only 3ft 5in tall and weighed 3st 1lb.

I recall that both AW and JC are very tall -- I think she wanted all to visualize the size of the 3 convicted felons compared to this little boy.

 

[LucyRocket]

The judge addressed the defendants directly as she continued her sentencing remarks.: “You John Cole, Angharad Williamson, and [the youth] were all convicted of Logan’s murder. You have all responsibility for Logan’s death and all the anguish that has followed from it.

“John Cole you pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice. Angharad Williamson and [the youth] you were found guilty of this following trial.

“Because he was killed in his own home ait’s not possible to be sure exactly what happened to him. What is very clear is shortly before his death this little boy was subjected to a brutal attack.

“There were 50 external injuries on his body, a blunt force trauma injury to his head, another non-fatal injury caused 36 hours before his death. Elsewhere on his body were injuries consistent with three to four punches to the abdomen and kicks to the rear.

“He suffered substantial internal bleeding. There was a tear to the lower part of the lobe of the liver, a 5cm tear to the right of the small bowel, the duodenum had been torn from the pancreas, and there was a degloving injury to the duodenum. These are the sort of injuries caused by a high-velocity impact or a fall from 10ft but they are consistent with the sort of injuries seen in abused children.”

She said the injuries were indicative of a severe localised blunt force caused by a weapon or object.

The judge added: “To see these injuries on a small, defenceless five-year-old is nothing short of horrifying.”

Mrs Justice Jefford speaks about the week leading up to Logan’s death when he was isolated in his room after contracting Covid-19. She said: “The way you treated Logan was extreme. He was kept isolated in his bedroom for 10 days. There was a baby gate which served to keep Logan in and he had no physical contact with his mother. When food was brought to him he was required to turn away.

“At the age of five he was expected to entertain himself with toys and screens all day. This treatment of Logan was cruel and that dehumanised him in the eyes of his parents. Teachers described him as engaging and well-behaved but you described him as badly behaved, naughty, and attention-seeking.

“You punished him by taking away food and made him face a wall for half an hour at a time. Neighbours heard you shouting aggressively and nastily. Angharad Williamson was heard saying: ‘Stop acting like a f****** d***head’ and said he had been ‘running around like an absolute toon’ and sitting on the floor and refusing to get up. In all probability he was already dying and what you described was the presentation of the injuries he received.”
