Speedboat killer Jack Shepherd returns to prison
Jack Shepherd was returned to prison for violating his licence conditions after serving half of a six-year manslaughter sentence related to a fatal speedboat accident in 2015.
- More than a year after his January last year release, Jack Shepherd has been sent back to prison for breaching his licence conditions, the Ministry of Justice confirmed.
- Shepherd's manslaughter conviction stems from the December 2015 death of 24-year-old Charlotte Brown after their speedboat hit a submerged tree and capsized; he fled, was convicted in his absence at the 2018 Old Bailey trial, then handed himself in in Tbilisi, Georgia.
- Family reaction was immediate as Graham Brown, father of Charlotte Brown, told The Sun 'He's back where he belongs' and HM Prison and Probation Service said 'As this case shows, we do not hesitate to send offenders back to prison if they break the rules'.
- The recall reinforces Jack Shepherd's existing sentences, noting it adds to his concurrent four-year sentence for assaulting David Beech rather than being a separate charge.
- During the trial jurors heard that Shepherd treated Charlotte to a £150 dinner at The Shard, and court testimony said the boat exceeded the 12-knot speed limit as Ms Brown cried they were going 'so fast.
