       A court previously heard how little Logan had suffered head injuries from "impacted pressure by an object, a foot or a fist".

       He had been left in "extreme pain and distress" after allegedly being attacked at his home in Bridgend, south Wales.

       The schoolboy was later discovered in the River Ogmore on July 31 following a search.

       He was taken to the Princess of Wales Hospital, where it was confirmed that he had died.

       The teenager charged has not been named by police due to his age.

       He is due to appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court later, South Wales Police said.

       Logan's stepdad John Coles, known as Jay, has been accused of murder and perverting the course of justice.

       The schoolboy's mum Angharad Williamson was also charged with perverting the course of justice.

       A family friend said she collapsed soon after arriving at the hospital when doctors told her Logan could not be saved.

       An inquest opening heard Logan had been formally identified by his grandmother Claire Williamson.

       A post-mortem examination was carried out but a provisional cause of death was pending further investigation.

       Cole, Williamson and the youth are set to face a four-week trial next year to decide on their part in Logan's death.

       A provisional trial date for all three was set for January 31 next year.

       'KINDEST BOY'

       Tributes flooded in from his heartbroken classmates following his tragic death.

       Parents of his reception class broke the news that Logan was "going to see the angels in heaven".

       Neighbours later paid tribute to "cheeky chap" Logan who was "the kindest boy you could meet" and "always looked so happy".
