Is a comma after 'me' needed?

The victim also has disturbed sleep and nightmares, said the prosecutor. When his mother hugged him, he cried, saying: “Naughty uncle beat me” and asked: “Why uncle beat me?” she added.

Should there be a comma after ‘me’?

Thanks.

I would do it thus (US style):

"The victim also has disturbed sleep and nightmares," said the prosecutor. "When his mother hugged him, he cried, saying, 'Naughty uncle beat me,' and asked, 'Why uncle beat me?'" she added.
