Bristol's speedboat killer Jack Shepherd is set to be freed half-way through his six-year prison sentence, reports suggest. He was jailed for manslaughter by gross negligence after flipping his boat on the Thames and killing his date Charlotte Brown in 2015.
But it is claimed he is set to leave jail in the next 10 months - sooner than expected. Shepherd, originally from Exeter before he moved to Bristol, is currently serving a six-year determinate sentence. This refers to the maximum time he could serve in prison, but according to reports he will likely be freed in January, reports the Mail.
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.
