Jack Shepherd, infamously known as the “Speedboat Killer,” has been released from prison after serving only half of his six-year sentence for the tragic death of 24-year-old Charlotte Brown. The web designer, now 35, was sentenced for manslaughter by gross negligence in connection with the fatal incident that occurred on their first date in December 2015.
The ill-fated boat trip on the River Thames turned fatal when Shepherd’s speedboat capsized after hitting a submerged tree trunk. Ms. Brown, from Clacton-on-Sea in Essex, was thrown from the boat and found unconscious, ultimately succumbing to her injuries in the hospital.
