A British teenager will spend the next 15 years in prison for taking part in the murder of a five-year-old boy.
The child’s stepfather and mother were also sentenced to prison terms of 29 and 28 years.
Little Logan Mwangi was found dead in a river in the town of Sarn, Wales, in July 2021.

His torturers had tried to make believe in his abduction before being arrested, reports the BBC.
The little boy had just spent more than 10 days completely isolated in the family home, following a positive COVID test.
According to the judge in the file, this treatment imposed by the teenager, Craig Mulligan and his stepfather, John Cole, would have completely “dehumanized” the child.
The evil trio would have mistreated the child on whom nearly sixty wounds were found.

He would also have been prevented from eating with the rest of the family.
This story, which made headlines in recent weeks in the United Kingdom, showed that Craig Mulligan had been sent back to his family despite his “desire for violence”.
“I love hitting children in the face, it’s orgasmic,” he allegedly sang in front of a social worker.
The foster family he was in also testified that he wanted to “kill” Logan.
Even if they had shared their concerns, Craig Mulligan’s guardians were not heard since the teenager was returned to his family five days before the tragedy.
“I know you acted to do like your father. You idolize him and you wanted his approval,” the judge told the boy.
