Jurors Hear Victim's Hospital Interview in Plymouth Acid Attack Trial

Prosecutors say the recording links the assault to unpaid drug debts owed to a figure known as Frost.

Overview

  • A recorded police interview with Danny Cahalane from his hospital bed was played to the jury in the ongoing Plymouth trial.
  • Ten defendants face charges that include murder, manslaughter, attempted kidnapping, and participation in a drug-trafficking gang.
  • Cahalane was doused with sulfuric acid on February 21, 2025, survived about ten weeks, and died on May 3 from cardiac arrest caused by his injuries.
  • In the interview, Cahalane described a role in a drug supply chain, gambling away profits, and threats from an alleged boss nicknamed Frost, identified in court as Ryan Kennedy.
  • Prosecutors allege Israel Augustus, 26, and Kelvin Asante, 23, carried out the attack, and say Cahalane believed his ex-wife, Paris Wilson, helped locate him; Wilson is among those charged.
