Killer Catherine Nevin had nowhere to go when first released

Notorious killer Catherine Nevin had nowhere to go when she was first given temporary release from prison and only left when she was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Known as the “Black Widow”, the 66-year-old died last February in a north Dublin hospice five months after being taken to hospital upon becoming unwell.

She took with her the secret as to who she hired to murder her husband, Tom Nevin, at their home in Jack White’s Inn, near Brittas Bay, Co Wicklow, in March 1996.
