A mother who murdered her five-year-old son wants her case reviewed by the body which investigates potential miscarriages of justice.
Angharad Williamson was jailed for life in June 2022 for the murder of her son Logan Mwangi , alongside his stepfather John Cole and a teenager, Craig Mulligan, then 14.
Williamson must serve a minimum of 28 years.
On Wednesday, she appeared via video link at a hearing at Pontypridd Coroner's Court which set a date for Logan's inquest.
Tony Thompson, a former superintendent with the British Transport Police, told the court: "I am conducting a review of her conviction."
Logan's inquest has been set for November this year - more than six years after his murder.
Mwangi's body was found in the River Ogmore, near his home in Sarn, Bridgend county in July 2021.
