Speedboat Killer Jack Shepherd Returns to Prison

Jack Shepherd was returned to prison after breaching licence terms following his early release for manslaughter in a fatal speedboat accident, authorities confirmed.

  • Speedboat killer Jack Shepherd has been recalled to prison for breaching the licence conditions attached to his release after being freed in January last year.
  • After going on the run, Shepherd fled to Georgia and surrendered to police in Tbilisi in 2019, later receiving a manslaughter conviction and sentencing upon his UK return.
  • Charlotte Brown died in December 2015 after the speedboat capsized on the River Thames when it hit a submerged tree trunk, later dying from cold water immersion shortly after rescue.
  • HM Prison and Probation Service said it swiftly recalls offenders who break rules, and Graham Brown, father of Charlotte Brown, said `He's back where he belongs` and condemned Shepherd's lack of remorse.
  • Earlier convictions show Shepherd struck David Beech with a vodka bottle in 2018 and served a concurrent four-year jail term for attacking a barman.
