Paris Wilson, a 35-year-old woman from Plymouth, has been sentenced to nine years in prison for manslaughter after helping organise a fatal acid attack on her former husband, Danny Cahalane. The attack was linked to a £120,000 drug debt owed by Cahalane to a drugs kingpin known as Ryan Kennedy, also called Frost. Wilson provided information about Cahalane’s movements and helped arrange opportunities for him to be targeted, including a previous attempted kidnapping. Cahalane, a 38-year-old fitness instructor with links to drug dealing, was attacked outside his home in February 2025. The corrosive substance caused severe injuries covering around a third of his body, and he died ten weeks later. Prosecutors said Wilson assisted the plot in exchange for money and because of resentment towards her ex-husband, although she claimed she did not expect anything beyond a physical assault. During the trial at Winchester Crown Court, Wilson was cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter and attempted kidnapping. The judge described her as a key participant who knew a serious attack was planned. Several other defendants were also convicted, including two men who carried out the acid attack and were given life sentences for murder. The court heard that Cahalane’s death had a devastating impact on his family, including his children and his mother, who died shortly after him after missing medical treatment while supporting him in hospital. Wilson’s defence highlighted her good behaviour in prison and efforts to gain qualifications and employment opportunities before her release.
