Speedboat killer Jack Shepherd admits punching woman and assaulting her with barbecue tongs

The 38-year-old admitted assaulting a woman in 2025, including punching her and striking her with barbecue tongs, as prosecutors dropped two allegations.

  • He absconded from his trial by fleeing to Georgia but was extradited back to the UK to serve his sentence before being released on licence in January 2024.
  • Shepherd admitted in 2025 to assaulting his girlfriend, including punching her and hitting her with barbecue tongs, leading to his recall to prison and pending sentencing in September 2025.
  • A probation report on Shepherd's conduct during his time out of prison was ordered, and he stated his expected release date as January 2029.
