Boy, 14 charged with murder after five-year-old was found dead in a river

Logan Mwangi, a five-year-old boy whose body was discovered in a river in South Wales, has been charged with murder.

Due to his age, the 14-year-old kid has not been named and will appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court later, according to South Wales Police.

Logan, also known as Logan Williams, was discovered dead in the Ogmore River near Pandy Park in Bridgend at 5.45 a.m. on July 31, after police were called to report a missing child.

He was transported to the Princess of Wales Hospital, where his death was confirmed.


Detective Chief Inspector Mark O'Shea, the senior investigating officer, said: "This is a very harrowing case for all involved and I extend my deepest sympathies to Logan’s family and friends.

“This remains an extensive and sensitive investigation by the Major Crime Investigation Team and I am grateful to the local community for its support and understanding while we have continued to gather evidence across several scenes.”

A tentative trial date has been set for all of January next year, with a four-week time estimate.
