"Many Photos" - Speedboat killer is arrested in Georgia after going on the run

Speedboat killer Jack Shepherd was pictured smiling as he was arrested in Georgia today, ten months after he fled there to avoid justice in Britain.

Shepherd, 31, killed Charlotte Brown when he drunkenly flipped his speedboat on the Thames while trying to impress her on a first date.

Ms Brown's family say they are 'overwhelmed' at news of his arrest and are hoping for a swift extradition to the UK.

Father David Brown posted on Facebook that 'justice is so close' as the news broke. 

Shepherd has made a mockery of justice by taking public money to fund an appeal against his six-year prison sentence while on the run.

Earlier this month, the Daily Mail offered a £25,000 reward to bring Shepherd to justice.

In July Shepherd, of Exeter, was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence in his absence over the death of Miss Brown in December 2015, who he took on a date while engaged to his now-wife.

He has yet to serve a single day of his six-year term, but has received almost £100,000 in legal aid and is communicating with his legal team from his hideaway as they prepare his appeal.

A Mail investigation has pieced together how he fled the UK in March after being arrested for an alleged hotel assault while on bail awaiting the speedboat trial.

He flew to Turkey and from there to Georgia, arriving in Tblisi on March 21. Shepherd’s wife told detectives he had gone to Georgia, but blunders meant British police only made the request for help there on Monday last week.

Records show his UK passport has not been used since.
