The father of Charlotte Brown, who was killed in a speedboat crash, has shared his fears after Jack Shepherd is ‘to be freed after serving half of his sentence.’
Brown, 24, from Essex, died after plunging into the icy waters of the River Thames when Shepherd’s boat hit a log during a date in London in December 2015.
Shepherd had handed her the controls temporarily when she hit a submerged piece of wood and the pair were thrown into the water.
Shepherd, 34, was given a six-year sentence after being convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence but it is claimed he is set to leave jail in the next 10 months.
Graham Brown appeared on Friday’s Good Morning Britain during which he said he ‘will never forgive Shepherd for the harm he has caused my family.’
‘I’m worried for women in general,’ he added.
Brown said he had ‘gone through all the emotions’, adding that ‘time teaches you how to do it better but there is still a lot of hurt and pain there.’
He continued: ‘Life does go on but there’s always an empty chair at the table.’
Speaking about his daughter, Brown said she was ‘full of life and lived for those she loved.’
’She’s had her life stolen from her. It’s been robbed from her,’ he added.
The dad-of-one was sentenced to prison for manslaughter by gross negligence in July 2018.
The following January, he surrendered to cops in Tbilisi after a £10,000 reward offer was made.
Shepherd, of Exeter, is also serving a consecutive four-year sentence for bottling a squaddie in 2018.
He was last year moved to a category A prison where he was set to serve the rest of his sentence.
He was being held at HMP Frankland, in County Durham. Among the other prisoners at the jail, was Soham murderer Ian Huntley and serial killer Levi Bellfield.
A Ministry of Justice (MoJ) source told The Sun: ‘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.’
Good Morning Britain airs from 6am on weekdays on ITV.
