Overview
- Jurors at Warwick Crown Court, which returned its verdicts Tuesday, found Mohammed Durnion guilty of manslaughter and Adam Moore guilty of assisting an offender after more than 10 hours of deliberation by an 11–1 majority.
- Prosecutors said phone records showed Durnion asked Moore for a shovel and rake, CCTV captured them driving in convoy to Binley Woods, and soil from Moore’s trainers matched the grave site.
- Forensic pathology reported head and neck injuries inflicted while Reanne Coulson was alive and burn damage after death, contradicting Durnion’s account that she overdosed.
- Investigators said Durnion hid Coulson’s body in his Paynes Lane flat on May 21, 2025, moved it in a suitcase, and buried it in a shallow grave later found on June 27, 2025.
- West Midlands Police released body‑worn video and said a Professional Standards review of the initial flat search found no misconduct but set learning measures, and both men will be sentenced at a later date.
