The woman accused of being the evil ringleader who allegedly chained four mentally challenged adults locked in a Philadelphia dungeon will undergo a mental evaluation to decide whether she is competent to stand trial, RadarOnline.com has learned.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Linda Ann Weston was arrested last month and now faces a string of charges including criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, kidnapping, criminal trespass, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment after three men and a woman were found chained in a Tacony, Pennsylvania house.

Municipal Judge Martha Neifeld agreed on Wednesday for a psychiatric assessment to be carried out in response to a request from the 51-year-old's attorney, George Yacoubian, based on the issues of mental retardation and low IQ, reported NBCPhiladelphia.com.

The ringleader responsible for chaining four mentally-challenged adults in a Philadelphia basement had previously had her children returned to her by social services despite a history of abuse and a horrific murder conviction, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Linda Ann Weston was paroled from prison after serving four years for the 1981 killing of a 25-year-old man who she hit with a hammer, locked in a closet and then starved to death -- she then walked into family court and demanded they give her children back, and the request was unbelievably granted.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Weston, 51, Eddie Wright, 49, and Thomas Gregory, 47, were arrested on Saturday and are facing a string of charges including criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, kidnapping, criminal trespass, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment after three men and a woman were found chained in a Tacony, Pennsylvania house.
