horrendous, I know we shouldn't speculate but maybe they were babysitting, with the 13 year old being involved and they tried to cover it up

…I don’t think so because one of the neighbours has said that they had heard his mother screaming that she’d found the back door open and he was gone…

…a photo of Logan…I don’t know how long before his death it was taken but it looks as though he may be wearing his own little Olympic medal…I’ll spoiler it for anyone who’d rather not see him…

…I found it, I couldn’t recall which article I’d seen it in…

Neighbours claim the boy’s mum was heard frantically screaming for her son shortly before he was found dead in the river.

She shouted, “the back door was open” at around 5.30 am on Saturday, waking up people living nearby, according to locals.

One neighbour said: “I could hear the mum screaming for her son. She was shouting ‘the back door was open’ and calling for him.

…He was known as Logan Williamson and also Logan Mwangi…he lived with his mother and step father, who were recently engaged…apparently his mother had a security camera fitted to her home doors, so that’s being obviously looked at atm…Logan was isolating as he’d tested COVID positive…

[Ammi]

…Logan’s stepfather has been charged with his murder…his mother… (…and a 13yr old boy…)…have both been charged with perverting the course of justice…)…

…it’s just so hard for us to fathom of a mother…there is a possibility that extreme fear for the safety of the other child and herself could have also factored../..that their world was violence/control/fear…/…I’ll wait to see what unfolds in court…just so horrendous and tragic…
