Black Widow Returns to Face Fraud Sentence | Sheffield News
Description
A cunning con artist known as the ‘Black Widow’ has been extradited from Tenerife to face justice after swindling an elderly woman out of nearly £300,000. Pamela Gwinnett, who posed as a carer during the pandemic, manipulated her way into power of attorney, isolated Joan Green from her family, and spent the money on luxury items — all while the victim tragically passed away in 2022. Gwinnett skipped bail in 2025, earning a six-year sentence in absentia, but was caught at Manchester Airport last month — stylish in leopard print and gold trainers, but silent when confronted. She’s now set to return to court on July 31st, with prosecutors hoping her return brings closure to Joan’s family and a reckoning for a crime built on betrayal.
