Woman guilty of killing ex-husband in acid attack

"A jury at Winchester Crown Court returned guilty verdicts for manslaughter to Wilson and fellow defendant Ramarnee Bakas, 23, of London. It also returned guilty verdicts for murder on Abdulrasheed Adedoja, 23, and Israel Augustus, 26, both from London. A sentencing date is yet to be confirmed. Along with Wilson, Jean and Arrone Mukuna - aged 24 and 25 respectively and both from London - were also found guilty of attempted kidnap. Isanah Sungum, 22, from Edmonton in London, was found guilty of being part of an organised crime gang but not guilty of murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter."

"Prosecutors said Wilson knowingly passed information about Cahalane's movements to a Dubai-based drugs boss called Ryan Kennedy, also known as Frost, and helped facilitate the attack. The jury accepted the prosecution case that Wilson knew "exactly what was coming" and was prepared to let it happen. The court heard during the four-month-long trial Wilson and Cahalane met in 2015 while he was still serving a sentence at Dartmoor Prison for drug dealing. The pair started a relationship which led to a wedding in 2020."

"Their marriage broke down in 2022 when Cahalane was given a suspended jail sentence for drug offences. Wilson was pressed for information by Kennedy to help locate her ex-husband, going as far as being offered money. Messag"
