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.
