Canada's 'Black Widow' charged with breaking release terms
12 April 2016 US & Canada
A Canadian woman dubbed the "Black Widow" after a series of convictions involving male partners has been charged with breaking the terms of her release.
Melissa Ann Shepard, 80, was freed in March after a jail term for drugging her new husband.
But police said she was a high-risk re-offender and set a number of conditions, including not going online.
She used a computer on Monday to access the web at a library in Nova Scotia.
Police have warned elderly men looking for love to steer clear of Shepard, with the internet flagged up as a possible threat.
