DAD'S PAIN
My daughter was killed by ‘narcissist’ Jack Shepherd – I’m devastated he’s about to be FREED… he’s a danger to women
A DAD has revealed his pain as 'narcissist' speedboat killer Jack Shepherd, who was convicted of his daughter's manslaughter, is set to be freed.
Shepherd, 34, flipped his boat on the River Thames in 2015 after drinking heavily, killing 24-year-old Charlotte Brown.

He was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence in 2018 and sentenced to six years in prison, as well as four years for wounding with intent over a fight in a pub.
However, he is expected to be released after just five years behind bars.
Now, Charlotte's father, Graham, has slammed the decision to grant Shepherd his release just halfway through his ten-year sentence, saying that he "poses a significant risk to women".
Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, Graham said: "He's shown no remorse.

"We still don't know what happened that night because he fled his trial and he didn't appear.
"He has an automatic right of release...As a father, that does not feel right...[for] someone I consider a serious threat to women."
He went on to call Shepherd a "narcissist", saying that he "exists purely for himself".
The furious father added: "He preyed on women from dating apps with the sole intention of sleeping with them and moving on to the next women.

"This is a man who, to my mind, is a threat to women's safety...I'm worried for women in general.
Graham then fumed that he will "never forgive" Shepherd for the "harm he has done to [his] family."
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.”
