Speedboat killer Jack Shepherd set to be freed as victim’s family insist he’s shown ‘no remorse’
SPEEDBOAT killer Jack Shepherd is to be freed after serving just half his six-year term.
Charlotte Brown, 24, died when boozy Shepherd, her date, flipped his boat on the Thames in 2015.
His determinate term means he is likely to go free in January.
Charlotte’s dad Graham told The Sun: “It goes to show how outrageous our criminal justice system is.
“The family is devastated. We will never get over it.
“She would’ve been 31 this month. We miss her terribly. Shepherd has shown no remorse.”

Before his trial dad-of-one Shepherd, 34, fled to Georgia.
In his absence he was jailed for manslaughter by gross negligence in July 2018.
Next January he surrendered to cops in Tbilisi after The Sun offered a £10,000 reward.
Shepherd, of Exeter, is also serving a consecutive four-year sentence for bottling a squaddie in 2018.

A Ministry of Justice source said: “He has kept his head down and quietly done his time. He knows that a determinate sentence means his case doesn’t have to go to the Parole Board for its approval.
“If he behaves then there is no reason to keep him in jail beyond his halfway point.
"He will be free to simply walk out the door.”
