US EditionNerys Lloyd: Details of fatal paddleboarding trip instructor's police sacking revealed
- Nerys Bethan Lloyd, a former police officer and paddleboard operator, was jailed last week for gross negligence manslaughter after a fatal tour in October 2021 on the River Cleddau in Haverfordwest.
- Lloyd organised the tour despite Met Office weather warnings and flood alerts, failing to warn participants about a 1.3m dangerous weir, which led to four people drowning under fast-moving water.
- Paul O'Dwyer, Andrea Powell, Morgan Rogers, and Nicola Wheatley were tragically swept over a 1.3-meter weir and trapped underwater during the paddleboarding trip, which lacked a proper safety briefing and appropriate equipment for the participants.
- Lloyd pleaded guilty to four manslaughter counts and one Health and Safety offence, admitted making a fraudulent £577.55 insurance claim for a repair costing around £16 to £20, apologised, and repaid the amount in full.
- Following her sentencing to 10 years and six months, Lloyd was dismissed as a police officer in 2022, highlighting the unacceptable nature of law enforcement personnel breaking the law themselves.
