Published 4 weeks ago
Description
Thirty years ago, Wicklow publican Tom Nevin was shot dead as he counted the takings following a busy day at Jack White’s Inn. Initially, the incident appeared to be a robbery gone wrong, but grieving wife Catherine Nevin would eventually emerge as the prime suspect and later come to be known as ‘The Black Widow’.
On the first of a two-part special, we look back at how one of Ireland’s most famous criminals came into the spotlight.
