‘Black Widow’ Catherine Nevin dies after brain tumour battle

Catherine Nevin, known as the ‘Black Widow’, has died, taking the secret as to who she hired to murder her husband to her grave.

Tom Nevin, 55, was shot dead at their home in Jack White’s Inn, near Brittas Bay, Co Wicklow, in March 1996, during a staged robbery.

Some Garda sources have indicated that a notorious hitman, who was living in the area at the time, was a chief suspect, but he passed away nine years ago.
