Remarkable pictures have been released of speedboat killer Jack Shepherd's rented apartment in Georgia, where he hid from the law for months.
Shepherd, who handed himself into authorities in the country 12 days ago after 10 months on the run, paid £168 a month for the bleak flat in the capital Tbilisi after arriving on March 21 last year.
Pictures of the apartment obtained by the Mirror show the squalor Shepherd endured to evade capture by the police, after skipping his trial in the UK over the death of Charlotte Brown.
Shepherd was convicted of manslaughter in July last year after Ms Brown died when a speedboat they were on crashed near the Houses of Parliament in London during a Tinder date.

Landlord Nika Nadidze, 37, said Shepherd claimed his name was 'Jack Grant' when he first arrived and he initially believed he was a student.
'He said his name was Jack Grant. I joked 'are you Hugh Grant's brother?' and he laughed,' says Nika.
'I didn't ask him why he had moved to Georgia. I thought he just wanted to get away from civilisation and live a new, more simple life.
Nika said he was shocked when he saw Shepherd appear on the news, adding: 'I thought he was a nice guy.'
While Shepherd's next door neighbour Lia Sulaberidze, 69, said: 'He was very unusual because we've never had a foreigner living in this building before. It's mainly young Georgian families. I didn't ask him, but I always thought he was a student because of how he dressed and how young he looked.'

Shepherd rented the flat in the impoverished Saburtalo quarter of Tbilisi back in March for £168 a month
The one-bedroom flat is situated on the top floor of a five-storey Soviet-style block in the impoverished Saburtalo quarter of Tbilisi.
It features a cramped dirty bedroom which has just enough space for a double bed and a dark and dingy living area.
Shepherd fled to Georgia in March last year shortly after his wife threw him out of the family home when she discovered he was on an internet date with 24-year-old Charlotte.
In the months before the accident, he had entertained up to ten other women on the ageing and badly-maintained speedboat.
Shepherd is being held for three months at Gldani No 8 maximum security prison, where he hopes to fight extradition and serve his six-year sentence for manslaughter.

He is learning Georgian in jail in his bid to become a citizen of the former Soviet state, which requires candidates to speak the language and live there for five years.
During a court hearing on Tuesday last week, the killer spoke in Georgian giving his name as 'Jack Sebastian Shepherdi'.
The judiciary in Tbilisi is under pressure to send him back to Britain to serve his sentence here, but Shepherd has blocked attempts to extradite him swiftly.
Police in the UK are also hoping to speak to him in relation to claims he glassed a barman with a vodka bottle at a pub in Devon last March.
The speedboat case sparked outrage when he claimed legal aid to appeal against his conviction while he was on the run.
