New Legal Dispute Over Assets In Nevin Case

The High Court has reopened a legal dispute to rule if convicted murder Catherine Nevin is entitled to assets held jointly with her husband Tom Nevin.

The 61-year-old is currently serving a life sentence for her husband's murder, after being convicted by a jury in 2000.

Tom's brother and sister, Patrick Nevin and Margaret Lavelle, have asked for a preliminary hearing, and believe she should not share any of the assets.

The assets included the Jack White's pub near Brittas Bay in Wicklow, which she sold for IR£620,000.

Mr Nevin also owned other properties and had a bank account which had approximately IR£197,000.

An application to have her appeal against conviction referred to the Supreme Court is pending before the Court of Criminal Appeal.
