The verdicts were delivered at Winchester Crown Court on Thursday. Abdulrasheed Adedoja and Israel Augustus were found guilty of murder, while Ramarnee Bakas was convicted of manslaughter. Jean Mukuna was found guilty of attempted kidnap, and Isanah Sungum was convicted of being part of an organised crime gang.
Wilson was acquitted of murder. Ten people are on trial over Cahalane's death: seven men from London and three women from Plymouth. Seven of the accused, including Wilson, faced murder charges alongside an alternative count of manslaughter.
The Daily Mirror's report names only seven convicted individuals, suggesting some defendants may have been acquitted or had charges dropped. Danny Cahalane was attacked with sulphuric acid at his home on Lipson Road on February 21, 2025, and died in hospital on May 3. Lead prosecutor Joanna Martin KC said Cahalane was a drug dealer in Plymouth who owed a large sum to another dealer higher in the chain.
He admitted to police that he had gambled with drug profits, including money meant for a boss named Ryan Kennedy, also known as 'Frost'. The court has previously heard that Kennedy is believed to be in Dubai. According to the Manchester Evening News, Wilson warned Cahalane in a text to be careful who he disrespected, cautioning that he risked losing everything because of his behaviour.
On January 14, she told him not to waste the new year, reminding him of his potential, and said she had seen him achieve far more than he was showing lately. Wilson instructed Cahalane to come to her home on The Quay on January 19 at 10am to drop off a person. An alleged abduction attempt occurred against Cahalane outside that address on the same day.
In texts with her mother Karen Wilson on January 3, Paris suggested someone was being kept away so Frost would not go near him. On January 5, she messaged her mother that Frost had called her and that Cahalane was supposed to pay him. On January 8, she asked for the address of Cahalane's then girlfriend and said Frost had told her he could make her millions if she could get a harbour master to ignore a container coming in, though she noted that container ships do not come to Plymouth.
Jurors were shown text exchanges between Cahalane and Wilson covering childcare arrangements, maintenance payments, and weekend custody plans in the weeks before January 19. The exact motive for the acid attack and the specific role of Frost remain unclear, as do the precise actions of each convicted defendant during the attack.
