Further evidence will be heard today in the trial of three people accused of murdering Logan Mwangi whose body was found in a river in Bridgend last summer.

On Monday the court heard how a teenage boy accused of murdering Logan had a "desire for violence" and spoke of killing people.

In statements read to the court , the former foster family of the 14 year old teenage defendant said he had made their lives "hell" during the several weeks he lived with them last summer and that they were "terrified" of him.

They also said that on a number of occasions the youth had told them he wanted to kill Logan, but when they raised the concerns with the youth's social worker, Debbie Williams, she dismissed their claims.

Ms Williams, who works as a senior social worker for Bridgend County Council, denied any knowledge of the threats while being cross-examined on Monday.

Angharad Williamson and the teenage boy deny all charges while John Cole denies murder but admits perverting the course of justice.
