Cardiff Crown Court has heard that Angharad Williamson conducted disturbing Google searches on the night five-year-old Logan Mwangi disappeared. The 30-year-old woman searched for the phrase “five-year-old dead Bridgend” twice, according to evidence presented during the trial.
Williamson, her partner John Cole, aged 40, and a 14-year-old youth are all denying charges of murdering Logan Mwangi. The young boy’s body was found in the River Ogmore at Sarn, Bridgend, early on 31 July 2021.
Police disclosed details from a Google account linked to Williamson’s phone, revealing unusual online activity that night. The account viewed 17 YouTube videos up until 2:15 AM, including several by “Dr Pimple Popper.” Notably, one cyst removal video was watched 27 times over a six-week period.
Michelle Claxton, an intelligence analyst with South Wales Police, testified about the repeated viewing of these videos. Defence counsel John Hipkin questioned whether Williamson was definitely the person using the phone, suggesting the videos reflected “particular interests” over time.
CCTV footage from the days leading up to the discovery of Logan’s body showed suspicious behaviour involving John Cole and the teenager. At 2:43 AM on 31 July, Cole was recorded carrying what he later admitted was Logan’s body. The court also viewed footage showing Logan’s bedroom light flickering on and off during the early hours of that morning.
All three individuals face charges including perverting the course of justice. This includes moving Logan’s body near Pandy Park, removing his clothes, washing bloodstained bed linen, and submitting a false missing person report. Williamson and the youth have pleaded not guilty to these offences, while Cole has admitted to perverting the course of justice. Both adults deny causing or allowing Logan’s death.
In July last year, the court heard that Logan suffered 56 “catastrophic” injuries, consistent with either a major fall or a car crash. The grim trial is ongoing as further evidence is considered.
