Speedboat Killer Denied Freedom
19 Feb
Summary
- Jack Shepherd's parole has been denied by the board.
- He was recalled in September 2025 for breaching release conditions.
- Shepherd was jailed in 2019 for killing Charlotte Brown.
Jack Shepherd, convicted of killing Charlotte Brown and assaulting a barman, has been refused parole. The decision by the Parole Board means he will continue to serve his sentence.
Shepherd was released in January 2024 but was recalled to custody in September 2025. This recall followed an arrest related to alleged coercive and controlling behavior and assault.
In 2019, Shepherd was sentenced to 10 years for gross negligence manslaughter in the 2015 death of Charlotte Brown during a speedboat ride on the River Thames. He also received a four-year sentence for assaulting a barman.
Before his sentencing, Shepherd fled to Georgia, where he remained a fugitive for ten months until his return to the UK. He is now set to remain in prison, with a paper review rejecting his latest bid for release.
