SPEEDBOAT KILLER JACK SHEPHERD CHARGED WITH ATTACKING GIRLFRIEND

Jack Shepherd has been charged with attacking a new girlfriend following his release from prison, according to reports. Shepherd, 38, was previously convicted of manslaughter in connection with the death of Charlotte Brown, 24, who died in a speedboat crash on the Thames. He had previously fled to Georgia whilst facing charges related to the incident.

The charge follows Shepherd's release from a custodial sentence for the manslaughter conviction. The specific circumstances of the alleged attack on his new girlfriend have not been detailed in available reporting. Shepherd's previous case drew significant public attention due to his initial absconding whilst facing prosecution.

The new charge represents a further development in the legal proceedings against Shepherd. No details regarding court dates or next steps in the prosecution have been confirmed in the available information. The case will proceed through the criminal justice system according to standard procedures.
