Ex-girlfriend of man killed in acid attack is among six charged with his murder
Paris Wilson, 34, a former probation officer, is accused of murdering Danny Cahalane, 38, at the home they once shared in Plymouth, England.
Fitness instructor Cahalane had acid thrown in his face after answering the door to his home at 3.55am on Friday 21, February. He died in hospital ten weeks later.
Nine defendants - including Wilson and mother-of-three Jenna Said - have already appeared in court charged with other offences relating to the attack on Cahalane.
However, following his death, prosecutors this week further charged six of the defendants with murder.
Wilson appeared in court with five male co-defendants charged with Cahalane's murder. The six defendants appeared in three brief hearings via video link.
Appearing on a screen from prison, Wilson spoke to confirm her name and home address but added: 'Although I'm currently at HMP Eastwood Park'.
Fellow defendants Israel Augustus, 25, Abdul-Rasheed Adedoja, 22, Ramarnee Bakas-Sithole, 22, Brian Kalemba, 22, and Isanah Sungum, 21, all from London, also appeared in court and were charged with murder.
They only spoke to confirm their names, dates of birth and addresses. None of the defendants were asked to enter a plea and were remanded into custody.
Mother-of-two Wilson was previously charged with conspiracy to murder and kidnap Cahalane, as well as participating in the activity of an organized crime group.
Said, also known as Jenna O'Grady, 38, is also charged with conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to kidnap and participating in the activity of an organized crime group.
Plymouth Magistrates' Court previously heard Cahalane suffered horrific facial injuries after sulphuric acid was thrown at him.
In a statement issued through police following his death, Cahalane's family said: 'We are struggling to come to terms with Danny's passing. Danny was an outstanding father and son.
'Danny and his mum had so much love for each other. He is well loved by his family and friends and as a family we cherish his love and memories.
'We ask the family are please given privacy and respect during this time.'

Merseyside Police described the blaze, which occurred on Tuesday evening, as an "extremely reckless act", noting reports of a large number of youths gathering nearby. The arrested girl was taken into custody for questioning and has since been conditionally bailed. Detective Inspector Daniel McWhinnie stated the police are determined to find all those responsible for the fire at the historic 1704 building. Police are appealing for anyone who was present, knows who was there, or parents whose children were out that night to come forward.

GCSE gender gap at narrowest point this century
The gap in GCSE results between boys and girls is now at its narrowest point this century. While girls are still outperforming their male classmates in terms of both top grades and reaching at least a 4/C, their results dropped slightly this year. The narrowing of the gender gap could be down to a combination of reasons, including societal pressures on girls and the continuing impact of the pandemic, education experts suggested. Overall, nearly a quarter (24.5%) of girls' GCSE entries were awarded at least a grade 7/A compared to almost a fifth of boys' entries (19.4%): a 5.1 percentage point gap, according to figures published by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ). Last year, 24.7% of girls' entries scored one of the top grades, compared to 19.0% of those from boys: a 5.7 percentage point gap. This is the narrowest lead enjoyed by girls since at least 2000, which is the earliest archive data available. Meanwhile, 70.5% of girls' GCSE entries were awarded at least a grade 4/C compared to 64.3% of boys' entries – a 6.2 percentage point gap – again the smallest gap in 25 years. In 2024, 71.0% of girls' entries scored at least a grade 4/C, against 64.2% of boys' – a gap of 6.8 percentage points. Pepe Di'Iasio, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: 'While we're pleased that boys' GCSE outcomes have improved this year, it is obviously not such good news that girls' outcomes have slightly fallen. 'It is hard to say why this might be the case, and we would welcome further research to identify the factors involved. 'We do know that there are significant pressures on adolescent girls because of wider societal issues around idealised and misogynistic online content and its real-world consequences. 'It would not be surprising if the resulting stress and anxiety impacted on academic performance. 'However, girls continue to outperform boys at GCSE and we also need to deal with the issue of how we improve the aspirations of some groups of boys who currently struggle in the education system.' Jon Andrews, head of analysis and director for school system and performance at the Education Policy Institute (EPI) said: 'As expected, the overall grade distribution for this year is similar to what we have seen in each of the last two years. 'But what is notable is that, while girls continue to outperform boys, the gap continues to close. Our previous analysis showed that girls' outcomes were particularly affected by the pandemic, and there are worrying trends around girls' wellbeing.' A report published by the EPI last year found a narrowing of the gap in reading attainment among primary school boys and girls. While girls remained ahead, their outcomes were the same as before the pandemic, while there was an improvement in boys' reading. Among secondary school pupils, the research found a similar picture – with outcomes for girls falling, while those for their male peers remained largely the same. Ofqual chief Sir Ian Bauckham told PA: 'It has been observed that the gender gap is now at a lower level than it has been for the last 20 years or so, which I think broadly speaking should be taken as good news because a gap in the performance of girls and boys is clearly not something that should be seen as desirable at all. 'As to the reasons why we see these long-term changes, I think it's much harder to be certain. I think there are probably lots of reasons contributing to it. 'It may be different trends that have arisen as a result of the return to normal after the pandemic, but it may be wider social factors as well.'

US woman who wore niqab disguise before failed murder plot jailed for 30 years
A US woman disguised in a niqab whose gun jammed during a failed assassination plot in Birmingham has been jailed for 30 years. Aimee Betro flew to the UK before she tried to shoot Sikander Ali at point-blank range outside his home in Measham Grove, Yardley, Birmingham, shortly after 8pm on September 7 2019. Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court found the 45-year-old graduate guilty of conspiracy to murder as well as possessing a self-loading pistol and fraudulently evading the prohibition on importing ammunition, on August 12. The jury of six men and six women deliberated for almost 21 hours before returning its verdicts, two of which were by an 11-1 majority. Betro, who is originally from West Allis in Wisconsin, but lived in Armenia until earlier this year, took part in a plot orchestrated by co-conspirators Mohammed Aslam, 56, and his son Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, to attack a rival family. Wearing a white top, black cardigan and her hair in plaits in the dock on Thursday, Betro showed no emotion as Judge Simon Drew KC jailed her for 30 years, with concurrent sentences of six years for possessing a firearm and two years for evading the prohibition. He said: 'You went beyond simply reaching an agreement to kill and, in reality, you did intend to kill Mr Ali. It is only a matter of chance that Mr Ali wasn't killed. 'You were engaged in a complex, well-planned conspiracy to murder. You were prepared to pull the trigger and did so on two separate occasions.'
