THIS is the chilling moment Logan Mwangi's teen killer snapped in his police interview as lied over the boy's murder.

Baby-faced Craig Mulligan, who was 13 at the time, claimed he woke up to hear the five-year-old's mum Angharad Williamson shouting "Logan is dead".

In reality, the teen monster had helped murder Logan along with Williamson, 31, and his stepdad John Cole, 40.

He was then captured on haunting CCTV carrying the dead youngster in a Nike holdall with Cole to a nearby river as the trio hatched a grisly scheme to cover up the killing.

Footage released from his police interview shows Mulligan claiming he and Cole had grabbed rubbish from the back garden and "chucked it in the river".

The teen told officers he couldn't remember what was in the black bags and claimed they returned to the river later to check they had "gone down".

He added: "We were trying to be as quiet as we could as we didn't want to wake Logan or Angharad.

"I don't know whether Logan was still there at that point...I didn't check".

But Mulligan snaps when it emerges Williamson has pinned her son's killing on him and Cole.

Asked if there is anything he would like to add, the teen fumes: "Yeah. Can you tell my mum to f**k off for me.

"She's blaming me and my dad for everything when we haven't done anything. Now I'm sick of this - she's just saying whatever she wants to get out of the f***ing cells."

Mulligan was identified yesterday after being detained for life with a minimum of 15 years for murder.

Williamson and Cole were also caged for life following Logan's brutal killing.

The "pure evil" teen, now 14, is the son of John Cole's ex-partner Rebecca Trudgill, who was in a relationship with the monster for over ten years.

The relationship ended in 2019 when Cole met Williamson and the teen was taken into care after his mum faked a cancer diagnosis.

As he had criminal convictions, Cole, who Mulligan saw as a "God-like" figure, was banned from unsupervised contact with children until social services became involved.

In May 2020, he applied to have parental rights of Mulligan - with the request granted just five days before Logan was killed.

Shockingly, Mulligan only referred to Logan as "the five-year-old" and made previous threats to kill the youngster.

BRUTAL KILLING

Logan was pulled from Ogmore River close to his home in Bridgend, South Wales, in mis-matched pyjamas in July last year.

He had suffered 56 external injuries to his head, face, torso arms and legs from "blunt force trauma".

The horrific catalogue of injuries included a fractured shoulder, extensive bleeding to the scalp and back of his head and a significant trauma to the brain.

Logan had been so battered even his tongue was bruised but tragically he was still alive for several agonising hours after his liver and bowel were torn.

Had his evil killers called for help, the boy would have had an 80 per cent chance of survival.

Sentencing, Judge Mrs Justice Nerys Jefford described the attack on Logan as "ferocious", adding: "You have all been convicted of murder and you are all responsible for Logan's death and all the anguish that followed from that."
