Locals spotted ‘mystery man’ before body of missing five-year-old boy discovered

Locals in a South Wales town where a 5-year-old boy was killed have reported seeing a 'mystery man' shortly before the child's body was discovered.

Worried locals in the Sarn area of South Wales said the person was seen around half an hour before Logan Mangwi's body was discovered, The Mirror reported.

A 30-year-old woman, a 39-year-old man and a 13-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, have been arrested on suspicion of murder after Logan's death.

Local resident Lisa Gould told The Sun: “The thought of this man being there so close to the spot where Logan was found only an hour or so later chills me to the bone.

“I’m in shock hearing this. That poor little lad. I just hope he didn’t suffer.”

Logan was reported missing at 5.45am on Saturday morning after neighbours say they heard his mum shouting "the back door was open".

A couple who live on the same street said poor Logan and his mum had knocked on their door just a week earlier after finding a snake in their garden.

The woman said: "I can't believe he has gone. He was so innocent and lovely.

"He was a sweet little boy."

A local mum said Logan was her daughter’s best friend.

She said: “He was smart, intelligent, happy, polite.

"He had a smile that lit up the world. He didn’t deserve this.”
