Mohammed Durnion found guilty of manslaughter of Reanne Coulson

Mohammed Durnion was convicted of manslaughter for killing Reanne Coulson, whose body was found in a shallow grave after being strangled and partially set alight, prosecutors said.

  • On Tuesday, a jury at Warwick Crown Court convicted Mohammed Durnion of manslaughter in the death of Reanne Coulson, rejecting murder with an 11-1 verdict after hearing he used petrol to set part of her body on fire.
  • Prosecutors said Durnion strangled Coulson shortly after arriving at his Coventry flat on May 21, 2025, following a neighbour's 999 call reporting screams; police searched the property but failed to locate her body.
  • Durnion moved the victim to a shallow grave in Binley Woods, where she was partially set on fire, then led officers to the site on June 27 after being shown a media appeal from relatives.
  • Adam Moore, Durnion's friend, was also found guilty of assisting an offender by helping hide the corpse in Binley Woods; both defendants will be sentenced on Thursday.
  • Detective Inspector Nigel Box of West Midlands Police stated the victim's family remains "mortified and heartbroken," while Durnion had claimed Coulson died from a drug overdose—a defense the jury rejected.
