The 14-year-old – who was convicted of the five-year-old’s murder alongside his stepfather John Cole, 40, and stepmother Angharad Williamson, 31 – had previously been under the care of foster parents, who described him as ‘pure evil’.

I know I weren’t meant to do it but we grabbed some of the rubbish in the back garden and we’ve chucked it in the river.‘Now it was all in like black bags and everything. I don’t know what was in the bags – I can’t remember. Then about 20 minutes after, we went back out to check whether they’d gone down. more videos

Mulligan (left) was not related to Logan (right) but was stepson of Cole and moved into the house five days before the murder Shocking new footage shows the shameless arrogance of Logan Mwangi’s defiant 14-year-old stepbrother as he told detectives to ‘get the f*** out’ of his room while they were arresting him for murder in the aftermath of the little boy’s death‘We didn’t say anything – we were trying to be as quiet as we could because we didn’t want to wake Logan or Angharad.‘I don’t know if Logan was still there at that point because we didn’t look.’In a later interview, after Angharad had told detectives that Cole and Craig had abused Logan, Craig said: ‘Can you tell my mum to f*** off for me?’When the detective asked why, he added: ‘Because she’s trying to blame me and my dad for everything when we haven’t done anything.
Neither has my dad. Now I’m just sick of this. She’s just saying whatever she wants to get out of the **** herself.’The teenager’s identity had been anonymised due to his age, but a judge lifted the reporting restriction after he was today jailed for 15 years.
Cole was sentenced to 29 years and Williamson 28 years. The trio murdered Logan – who had suffered 56 external cuts and bruises, and ‘catastrophic’ internal injuries – before dumping the five-year-old’s pyjama-clad body in the River Ogmore in Bridgend in July 2021. In footage released of his arrest, barefoot Mulligan, dressed in a Marvel t-shirt and black trousers, calmly tells his stepmother he’s ‘under arrest’ and she yells back: ‘Just do as you’re told please.’He then tells officers to ‘get the f*** out’ of his room, adding: ‘I’m not messing.’ Mulligan moved into the family home in Bridgend just five days before Logan was killed after the couple’s application for custody was approved by the family courts – despite Logan being on the child protection register and Mulligan’s previous threats to kill him.He would called Cole ‘dad’ and Williamson ‘mum’ but would not refer to Logan as his brother – describing him only as ‘the five year old’. Cole had been in a relationship with Mulligan’s mother, later becoming her carer. Mulligan’s identity had been anonymised – but a judge lifted the order of naming him after he was jailed for Logan’s murder Angharad Williamson, 31, was tearful and hyperventilating when she was told she would be arrested for murdering LoganHis foster parents couldn’t cope with his threatening and abusive behaviour and asked Bridgend Social services to remove him from their home.
The foster father said: ‘I recall saying to myself that he was going to do something bad. We have been fostering for https://healthtopical.com/stretch-marks-legs-teenager/ the best part of 50 years, it was the only time I felt scared for my family.’The family heard Mulligan say he wanted to kill ‘the five year old’ – meaning Logan – although this was denied by social workers.Mulligan picked on other children in the foster home, tortured the family’s dog and asked two young girls if they wanted to play a ‘murder game’ and tried to make them get inside black bin bags. Mulligan was regularly sent home from a local comprehensive school and spent all his time playing adult-rated games on his Xbox.
He was on Call of Duty when police arrived at the family home hours after Logan was found.After his arrest, a support worker heard him say: ‘I love kids. I f***ing love kids. I love to punch kids in the head. It’s orgasmic.’ He told another: ‘I did some bad stuff but I’m not allowed to talk about it.’ The foster family said they made Mulligan’s social worker Debbie Williams aware of their concerns, however Ms Williams denies this. Today, Judge Mrs Justice Jefford said it was of ‘significant public interest’ to know why Mulligan had been placed into the family home just five days earlier.’A key aspect of this case is the relationship between Craig Mulligan and John Cole.
He idolised his father. His attitude towards Logan and involvement in his death was driven by that relationship.’He assaulted Logan either because he was instructed to do so by John Cole or to emulate John Cole and win his approval.’She said not naming Mulligan would ‘restrict’ the press’ ability to report on the Child Safeguarding Review. John Cole, 40, Angharad Williamson, 31, will have to serve minimum terms of 29 years and 28 years consecutively more videos
