Black Widow Part 2: The trial of Catherine Nevin and the media sensation that followed

US president Donald Trump’s America First agenda was the cornerstone of his election victory. But has all that pre‑election rhetoric now come back to haunt him? As the US deploys thousands of troops to the Middle East, the conflict is looking less like a brief flare‑up and more like the start of a long, grinding war. Despite Mr Trump's insistence that Washington is in talks with senior Iranian figures to strike a deal, Tehran denies any negotiations are taking place. So, who exactly is talking to whom? And as suspicion swirls about insider trading in the oil markets, who is cashing in on the chaos in the Strait of Hormuz?

Thirty years ago, 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 Indo Daily special, we look back at how one of Ireland’s most famous criminals came into the spotlight.

Black Widow Part 1: The murder of Tom Nevin and the birth of one of Ireland’s most notorious criminal cases

There were cries of relief from the family of Natalie McNally yesterday, as the jury convicted Stephen McCullagh of killing his 32-year-old partner in her Lurgan home in December 2022. During the four-week trial, the prosecution claimed that McCullagh murdered Ms McNally after setting up a “false alibi” that he was livestreaming a video gaming session on YouTube.
