Logan Mwangi, 5, was killed, and his biological father claims that before his terrible death, his former partner informed him he would never see his son again.
After starting a connection with Logan’s murder accomplice John Cole, Ben Mwangi claimed Logan’s mother Angharad Williamson broke off communication with him.
Logan’s body was discovered in the River Ogmore in July of last year, close to his house in Sarn, Bridgend County, “fly-tipped like rubbish.” He had ‘catastrophic’ inside injuries in addition to 56 exterior cuts, bruises, and bruising.
Following their convictions for Logan’s murder, Williamson, 31, Cole, 40, and his stepson Craig Mulligan, 14, were all given life sentences last week.
Today, Mr. Mwangi disclosed how he had at first maintained communication with Logan and had relocated to South Wales just prior to Logan’s birth in March 2016 in order to assist with co-parenting.
However, he claimed in an interview with ITV’s Good Morning Britain that “as soon as Cole entered the picture (in 2019), things completely altered.”
He claimed I was speaking to her far too frequently. Of course, we would just discuss Logan. And then everything started to fall apart.
She sent me a nasty message saying, “I’ll never see my son again. Logan has a family now. He doesn’t need me.”
When Williamson visited his grandma, Mr. Mwangi kept in touch with Logan on occasion over the phone. That, however, quickly came to an end when Williamson forbade Logan from seeing her mother.
I was completely ignorant of what was happening because I hadn’t seen Logan in so long. I was completely unaware of what was happening to Logan,’ Mr. Mwangi claimed.
Logan was discovered to have been on the child protection registry during the trial as a result of worries about Cole. but was taken out of it a month before he passed away.
A day before Logan died, social officials made an impromptu visit to the house but were turned away because the child allegedly had Covid. Mr. Mwangi is currently advocating for a law change.
In the event that social services raise concerns about a child’s safety, he wants the child’s estranged parents to be notified.
He declared today, “I would have arrived first, without a doubt” (had I known).
