OTTAWA — More than fifteen years into a life sentence for murdering her husband with antifreeze-laced wine, Cherrylle Dell has taken the first step toward release on early parole.

Dell has filed a faint hope application, according to her Ottawa lawyer Jeffrey Schroeder.

The now 58-year-old Dell was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years after being convicted of first-degree murder in the Dec. 28, 1995 killing of husband Scott Dell in Killaloe.

She was also charged in the murder of her lesbian lover, Nancy Fillmore, but pleaded guilty to the much lesser charge of counselling Fillmore’s killer, Brent Crawford, to intimidate Fillmore.

Fillmore told police that Dell bought the antifreeze, laced a bottle of white wine with it and delivered it to her estranged husband. Dell then kept her husband up all night on the phone, encouraging him to drink it, according to Fillmore.

Scott Dell did his apprenticeship in the Cavendish Technical Services between 2015 and 2018, followed by a Level 4 Higher National Certificate from 2018 to 2020. After getting a promotion this year, he is now Senior Mechanical Technician. 

Why did you choose an apprenticeship?

I choose to complete an apprenticeship because I never had the patience to partake in traditional learning, this being sixth form/university. I can say this as I had done two years of college before starting my apprenticeship which is what lead me down this route. Not only this but I really enjoy being on the job doing practical learning, so this decision was a no brainer for me.

Also, the fact I got paid to learn a new lifetime skill was amazing. This also meant I haven’t ended up with any student debt and I could quit my parttime job I was doing alongside college, in turn giving me more free time to do what I wanted to do!

Even though doing an apprenticeship still meant going to college, it was only one day a week during term time. I found this way a lot easier, as I am not much of a “classroom leaner”
