Teenage killer of Logan Mwangi named as his stepbrother Craig Mulligan

A 14-year-old sentenced to life in prison for murdering Logan Mwangi can now be named as his stepbrother Craig Mulligan. The teenager was convicted of the five-year-old’s murder alongside his stepfather John Cole and stepmother Angharad Williamson.

Mulligan was just 13 when he played his part in Logan’s death and the cover-up which saw the young boy’s body dumped in the River Ogmore in Bridgend, South Wales. The youth was seen on CCTV accompanying Cole, who was carrying Logan’s body, to the river from Williamson’s home in the early hours of July 31, 2021, Wales Online reports.

Today, Cole, Williamson, and Mulligan were locked up for a combined total of 72 years with each handed life sentences.
