Victim of acid attack 'plotted by his ex-partner who teamed up with a gang' dies in hospital six weeks after horror

A father who was left fighting for his life after an alleged acid attack six weeks ago has died in hospital.

Danny Cahalane, 38, was left in a critical condition after reportedly being attacked in his home on Lipson Road, Plymouth, on February 21, where his young daughter was sleeping inside.

He was said to have been moved out of the city for his safety, but officers were informed on Sunday that Mr Cahalane had died on the day prior.

Last week, his ex-girlfriend, Paris Wilson, 34, appeared in court after she was charged with a plan to kidnap and kill. She has been accused of plotting alongside a crime gang to throw sulfuric acid in Mr Cahalane's face.

Grieving the loss of 'an outstanding father and son', Mr Cahalane's family have paid an emotional tribute.

Their statement reads: 'As a family, 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.
