Family of speedboat crash victim urge her fugitive killer Jack Shepherd to come forward | ITV News

The family of Charlotte Brown, who died after a speedboat crash, have said there is "no hiding place" for the fugitive killer Jack Shepherd.

Mr Shepherd, 31, is still on the run after he was sentenced to six years imprisonment for manslaughter by gross negligence in his absence last summer, after vanishing before his Old Bailey trial.

Ms Brown, 24, was killed after the boat he had bought to "pull women" flipped into the icy waters of the River Thames during her first date with Shepherd in December 2015.

Her father, Graham Brown, mother Roz Wickens and sister Katie, will met Sajid Javid on Tuesday to seek assurances that everything possible is being done to bring on-the-run Shepherd to justice.

Mr Brown said: "There can be no hiding place for Jack Shepherd. No one should give support, assistance or encouragement to him other than to do what he should have done in the first instance and hand himself in and take responsibility for his actions."

"The family will not rest, we will not tire until justice is done and Shepherd is held to account for the loss of our beautiful daughter."

The family were assured by Mr Javid that "all efforts and steps are being taken" and the "manhunt is given the necessary resources and priority it requires".

When asked about speculation of the possible location of Mr Shepherd being Turkey or Georgia, Mr Brown said agencies will not speculate but "are following a number of leads."
