Logan Mwangi murder trial latest as mum admits 'selfish' lies
If I was awake I could have saved him'
Angharad Williamson was asked about Logan’s evening meal on July 30 and she said she took his food off him. She said: “He was sitting there playing with food. I took it off him. What was I supposed to do?”
Prosecutor Caroline Rees QC said: “Show him some understanding for the trauma he suffered?” Williamson said: “I had all day.”
Ms Rees said: “You said Jay walloped Logan to the back of the head.” Williamson said: “He got his hand and swung it.”
Ms Rees said: “Was there any need for that?” Williamson said: “No…. I told Jay to get out and said I was handling his shower fine.”
Ms Rees said: “It must have frightened you to see another outbreak of violence from John Cole?” Williamson said: “It should have….. I was more focused on sorting Logan’s shower out.”
Ms Rees said: “He did that right in front of you.” Williamson said: “Yes.”
Ms Rees said: “What did you do?” Williamson said: “I told him to get out.”
Ms Rees said: “Did you have concern for Logan?” Williamson said: “I was worried Logan would be distressed and he had a rough day. He put his pyjamas on after the shower, I put him on my bed to watch television programmes and Jay said I was rewarding him and I said to leave him alone.”
The defendant is further cross-examined on whether she was involved in Logan’s death.
Ms Rees said: “What pyjamas wes Logan wearing?” Williamson said: “I don’t remember.”
Ms Rees said: “You’re lying to cover up the fact you knew jolly well he was wearing those dinosaur pyjamas.” The defendant denied this.
Ms Rees said: “How did they end up in three pieces? Did you cut them from his body?”
Wiliamson said: “No I didn’t , no I didn’t.”
Ms Rees said: “Did you want disassociate yourself from the pyjamas which pointed to your involvement in Logan’s murder?”
Williamson said: “I never hurt my child, I never hurt Logan.”
Ms Rees said: “Why did you give him Calpol?” Williamson said: “Because he said he had a bad tummy.”
Ms Rees said: “Did you give him Calpol in a desperate attempt to cover up the assault?”
Williamson said: “I don’t know what happened to Logan. If I was awake I could have saved him. I wasn’t aware of his injuries.”
