The dad, 38, was rushed to hospital but could not be saved and died ten weeks later on May 3.

Wilson is due to appear at Plymouth Magistrates’ Court today charged with murder.

The ex-probation officer was previously accused of conspiracy to murder and kidnap and participating in the activity of an organised crime group.

She was charged with murder alongside Israel Augustus, 25, Abdul-Rasheed Adedoja, 22, Ramarnee Bakas-Sithole, 22, Brian Kalemba, 22, and Isanah Sungum, 21.

Three other people have been accused of other offences and previously appeared in court.

They are 38-year-old Jenna Said, Jean Mukuna, 23, Ramarnee Bakas, 22.

The horror unfolded on February 21 as Danny's daughter was sleeping upstairs.

Following the attack, he was taken to a hospital outside Plymouth for his own safety.

His family said in a statement: "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."

Mum-of-two 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.
