She was today jailed for nine years after being convicted of manslaughter with the judge saying she was a “key participant in this offence.” The court heard how former probation worker Wilson revealed Danny’s location to his boss Ryan Kennedy – known as Frost – before the killing. His entire body was burnt after he was ambushed at his home Credit: PlymouthLive/BPM The mum had tipped a gangster off about her gangster’s whereabouts Jurors heard Danny was “middle management” in a drug-dealing operation and owed Frost £120,000 after gambling away his profits. Following their “acrimonious” split, Wilson became a “go-to” for the Dubai-based gangster as he plotted to get his money back. She told Frost she would reveal Danny’s location to the drug dealer on the understanding he would “make her wealthy”. The court heard she committed the offence either out of greed or for revenge against her ex- husband or both. Most read in The Sun The killer also believed her ex-husband, who she shared a child with, “deserved to be hurt”. Winchester Crown Court heard this was despite Wilson knowing that Frost was a “threat” to Danny. Just days before the killing, she told Danny: “I hope you and your (girlfriend) both end up with acid in your face.” Remorseful Wilson said in her evidence that the acid in the face remark was “a horrible thing to say”, adding: “I was not party to it being enacted. “I spoke spitefully but I don’t act spitefully. I don’t manipulate things,” She also messaged her mum about the daughter she shared with Danny, saying: “I think he is keeping her so Frost doesn’t go near him.” She was charged with murder following Danny’s death but was cleared of that offence Credit: Unknown The mum was also accused of participating in the criminal activities of an organised crime group Credit: Unknown Another message read: “Like Frost is losing his mind….Frost is saying he will pay me if I find where he is today…he said he will pay me a few grand and double what Dan owes you and give you an oz…so 600 and a oz.” The court heard Wilson also told her mum Frost was “minted” and his crime gang “can’t handle any more of his lies”. Referring to Danny’s new partner Michaela, Wilson, she continued: “They said they’d grab her and get her to take them to him..and she’s a c*** tbh mum so I don’t care.” She added: “I’m worried about my karma, but at least nobody but Dan gets hurt, and he did f*** massively with my life…and he deserves it.” Jurors were told Danny had got into debt with Frost originally after he gambled with profits from the drug-dealing operation. Prosecutor Joanne Martin KC said: “That left, in Danny’s words, Danny in the s***. He told police he was in significant debt and he tried to organise a repayment plan but it didn’t work.” The month before he was attacked, Frost messaged Danny telling him: “You’re gonna die, you just need to die. You’ve done me £80k. I’m going to give them 40k extra to take the eyes out of your head.” Danny replied: ‘You’re talking about switching me off. I have 46 covered. Sorting for you. Been long.” Over the next two days, Frost continued to message the victim and send him threats. On January 18, he text again saying: “I’m just paying someone the bill to get you done. On my life, I ain’t messaging you again, I’ll find you by tomorrow.” The prosecutor said Frost had become “incensed” at Danny’s “stalling” and failure to repay the money and organised a kidnap attempt on January 19 2025. Jurors heard three men confronted Danny and tried to open his car door – causing him to flee. The dad was described by witnesses as as looking “wide eyed” and terrified. After the kidnap plan failed, Frost messaged him saying: “Close call? Mate I’m telling you they gonna burn gaffes down and your gonna die”. The court was told there was “no doubt” Wilson set Danny up because “she told Frost exactly where he would be” that day and “only she could have known that he was dropping off their daughter that morning at her house”. Ms Martin said: “Paris Wilson knew that Frost meant business. “She knew the level of threat that Frost was issuing to Danny.” On February 21 last year, jurors heard two men broke into Danny’s home and attacked him with sulphuric acid – burning his entire body. He was rushed to hospital but died ten weeks later from his “horrific” injuries, it was said. Ms Martin said: “There can be no doubt that Mr Cahalane was murdered, whoever threw acid over him must have intended to at the very least cause him really serious bodily harm.” Co-defendants Abdulrasheed Adedoja and Israel Augustus were found guilty of murder, while Ramarnee Bakas was convicted of manslaughter. Two brothers – Arrone Mukuna, 24, and Jean Mukuna, 23, were found guilty of attempted kidnap along with Wilson. Blonde haired Wilson gained a degree in political science and found work in the offshore renewable energy industry. She became involved with personal trainer Cahalane while he was serving a long jail sentence in Dartmoor Prison for drug dealing. The romance had begun with a light-hearted social media exchange and promises of a new beginning. Wilson told the court that she was “utterly besotted with him” and he was “charming” and a wonderful father, adding: “I did love him profoundly.” She wept as her lawyer Jennifer Knight KC said she knew and played a part in the kidnap attempt to grab Cahalane just after Cahalane dropped off their daughter at her home in what the judge called: “a child being used as bait.” Miss Knight said:”Miss Wilson is deeply sorry that Danny Cahalane died She is deeply sorry that his life was cut short and was taken from his family.”
