Logan Mwangi - 3 Life Sentences For His Murderers

[choux]

Who would be a juror on this trial? One of the jurors has spoken bout her trauma and she is a psychologist. Her words alone are enough to make the blood run cold.

So incredibly sad.

[choux]

I will never understand why any other inmate at HMP should risk extending their own sentence to achieve what the judiciary fail to do.

I’m obliged, sadly not the sort of story where one would revel in the kudos.
I’m a fairly mild-mannered guy however past experiences mean that I’m emotionally involved.
Takes a lot to push my buttons but domestic violence and/or child abuse rather boils my pi$$.
Before the hand wringers ask, yes, I could carry out the sentences I’d prescribe and not bat an eyelid.
I see myself as a Wendell White from LA Confidential sort of character. That’s not bravado, it’s just that I can identify with him, massively.
C’est la vie.

[choux]

cashier, I watched the programme. Jesus wept.

[lady-janine]

So very, very sad. Things like this should never, never happen. Those that carry them out should receive the severest sentences.

[burlyshirley]

It was hard to watch that programme last night, particularly at the beginning when his s called mother was screaming about finding her son and saving her son - my God what an evil lying witch. I wish their sentences had been 10 years longer. What a great pity little Logan didn't see more of his Dad, he may have been saved. Kudos to the police, they did a great job.

[naomi24]

Can't bear to watch anything like that.

[burlyshirley]

It was hard to watch naomi, especially when they showed videos of the beautiful little boy when he was happy, but I wanted to see their cruel, evil faces when they realised the game was up and there was nothing but long jail time for them. I also applaud how the police work on such cases, they just keep on until they get justice. One policeman at the end said the case had damaged his soul forever.

I hope they all have the worst time ever inside , the hardest criminals hate child murderers and molesters, I hope the prison officers turn a blind eye to what’s coming to them

And risk getting sacked?
Like it or lump it, prison officers have a duty to protect even the lowest of the low. These 3 monsters will most likely be put in with others of their ilk, segregated from the main prison population.
Perhaps someone serving a full life tariff with nothing to lose may do the business and rid us of their presence?

[ZebuSanctuary]

@THECORBYLOON... The judge ought to lift the protective ring of steel around social services. They are largely culpable too for negligence. Nothing sticks in my craw more, when they trot out the old adage 'Lessons can be learnt'. Someone/s in SS should now be standing in the dock in a Crown Court. Period!

[choux]

Fatticus, I am sorry to read that.

2 things from the programme that I cannot forget:
I wonder what the family court judge who let the youth move into Logan's home had to say and
Had medical help been called after those dreadful injuries were inflicted upon Logan "in a timely fashion" he would have a great chance of survival.

[cashier]

The programme was indeed harrowing, and for me one of the hardest parts was the fact he stayed alive for several hours after the beatings, and could have been saved. Hearing of some of other punishments was also horrendous. Both males trained in martial arts means Logan stood absolutely no chance. A pity Social Services took him off the at risk register.

[jennyjoan]

my heart broke and he was just so happy looking - what could he possibly have done to irritate somebody like that. all the wee ones who have died lately all so beautiful.

however just wondered - was the father of the little boy any better when he was taken off him.

[barry1010]

The death penalty was abolished long before we joined the EU. Death is an easy way out for monsters like this.

[burlyshirley]

He wasn't taken off him jj. The so called mother made it extremely difficult for him to see his son, even though he kept trying. Not hard to see when you realised what sort of vile, manipulative evil person she was. The happy, smiling pictures of him with his Daddy were very hard to look at.

[jennyjoan]

Ok thanks. Burley

[pastafreak]

I'm so glad I didn't watch it. It doesn't take much to send me into floods of tears lately...and there's too damn much of this sort of thing in the news recently.

But in this instance would certainly feel like justice in my book.

[andres]

A quick lethal injection would do the job. Rather that than advocating a lifetime being locked away. Why should the murderers be fed, clothed and allowed tv's ,phones, books, education etc.etc. when the poor little lad is lying stone cold in a wooden box six foot under the ground.
