Convicted killer back in custody

Joe-Anna Hachey, 31, of Fredericton, who spent time in federal prison for 2017 manslaughter, wasn’t present in court as required twice this month on less serious charges

A Fredericton woman facing numerous criminal charges in the wake of her release from prison was back in custody Wednesday, having been picked up on outstanding warrants.

Joe-Anna Hachey, 31, of Irvine Street, had been scheduled to appear in Fredericton provincial court Aug. 6 on one set of criminal charges and Aug. 19 on others, but she was absent on both occasions.

That prompted judges to issue warrants for her arrest.
