Mother denies murder of five-year-old Logan Mwangi

A mother has pleaded not guilty to murdering her five-year-old son.

Angharad Williamson, 30, is charged with killing Logan Mwangi, also known as Logan Williamson, at their home in Sarn, Bridgend.

He was taken to the Princess of Wales Hospital, where his death was confirmed.

Logan suffered a number of injuries before his death, including a torn liver, an internal injury to the back of his head and a broken collarbone, medical evidence allegedly showed.

He was killed between July 28 and August 1, the charges allege.

At a hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Friday, Williamson also denied another charge of causing or allowing the death of a child.

John Cole, 39, of Sarn, also appeared in court and denied causing or allowing the death of a child.

Cole has already pleaded not guilty to murder and guilty to perverting the course of justice.

A 14-year-old boy, who cannot legally be identified because of his age, has previously denied murder and perverting the course of justice.

The teenager appeared at court via video link.

The trial is due to begin on February 14 2022 and is expected to last for six weeks.
