Speedboat killer’s cushy’ time in jail SHEPHERD GETS PERKS FOR BEING BRIT
SPEEDBOAT killer Jack Shepherd will have a cushy life in a Georgian jail while he fights extradition.
The fugitive was sentenced to six years for the manslaughter Charlotte Brown.
She died when his speedboat flipped while doing more than twice the speed limit on the Thames in London.
Shepherd, 31, surrendered to police after more than ten months on the run.
He is in Tbilisi’s maximum security Gldani jail – where inmates were filmed being beaten and raped by guards in 2012.
But sources there say he is receiving special treatment because he is British.
Shepherd will also get visits from girlfriend Maiko Tchanturidze, 24, a model and TV journalist who claimed to have convinced him to hand himself in.
Sheltered
An insider said: “He will be free to live as he wants behind bars. Normally people are in rooms with eight or more inmates but Shepherd is in a cell with just a few.
“There is disorder and attacks. But Shepherd will be sheltered from this. He’s British and that will mean he’s not attacked. There is a shop where he can buy food and guards will look after him.”
Shepherd fled Britain last March but was sentenced to six years in July over the death in 2015 of Charlotte, 24.
He was sent to Gldani prison on Friday after trying to dodge extradition, saying his life would be in danger in the UK.
Shepherd made a pathetic apology to her family in his court appearance but was still painting himself as the victim.
He will have an extradition hearing in three months and wants to argue his case via video link from Georgia.
