A FORMER criminal justice worker who taught lags to read behind bars has been charged in an acid murder plot.
Mum-of-two Paris Wilson, 34, is accused of teaming up with a crime gang to kidnap and kill her ex-boyfriend.
Sulphuric acid was thrown in the face of personal trainer Danny Cahalane, 38, at his home in Plymouth, Devon, while his daughter was sleeping.
Wilson previously worked as a probation officer in the city’s Barbican area — helping released criminals with housing and jobs.
She also volunteered at Dartmoor Prison, teaching male inmates to read and write.
Wilson, of The Quay, Plymouth, appeared at the city’s magistrates’ court last week charged with conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to kidnap and participation in the criminal activity of an organised crime group.
Seven others have also been charged over the attack.
Some also face drugs charges.
Wilson was remanded into custody before a hearing at Plymouth crown court on May 12.
A source told The Sun: “Paris was trusted to access the prison and worked closely with inmates.
“Nobody can believe she’s now locked up.”
Devon and Cornwall Police say Mr Cahalane is still in hospital following the attack on February 21, but has been moved outside of the city for safety.
