http://dbpedia.org/resource/Dena_Thompson an entity of type: Thing

Dena Thompson (born 1960), commonly known as The Black Widow, is a convicted murderer, confidence trickster and bigamist. She habitually met men through lonely hearts columns and stole their money. She is currently in prison for murdering former media manager Julian Webb, her second husband (though she was still married to her first). She was acquitted of the attempted murder of Richard Thompson (who she married in 1998 after her divorce), and is also suspected of murdering an ex-boyfriend. After Webb's remains were exhumed and analyzed, she was convicted of murder in 2003 and sentenced to life. A High Court ruling in 2007 determined she would serve 16 years, meaning she would not be eligible for release until 2019. She was also convicted of theft and defrauding former lovers. rdf:langString

rdf:langString Dena Thompson (born 1960), commonly known as The Black Widow, is a convicted murderer, confidence trickster and bigamist. She habitually met men through lonely hearts columns and stole their money. She is currently in prison for murdering former media manager Julian Webb, her second husband (though she was still married to her first).

After Webb's remains were exhumed and analyzed, she was convicted of murder in 2003 and sentenced to life. A High Court ruling in 2007 determined she would serve 16 years, meaning she would not be eligible for release until 2019. She was also convicted of theft and defrauding former lovers. Following her 2003 conviction, Detective Chief Inspector Martyn Underhill stated: "This woman is every man's nightmare, the most dangerous woman I have ever met. For a decade, she has targeted men sexually, financially and physically. The men of Britain can sleep safe tonight knowing she has been taken off the streets." A judge described her as: "one of the most fluent liars I have come across." Detective Chief Inspector Martyn Underhill observed Thompson was a misandrist: "I think the events of her childhood have made her hate men. If you look at her life, it is always men she has targeted." As of May 2022, Thompson was being held in an open prison with day release provisions (either HM Prison Askham Grange or HM Prison East Sutton Park as these are the only two open prisons for women in England). Thompson was granted release on parole in May 2022, and was released in June.
