Jack Shepherd, a man convicted of manslaughter over a speedboat incident on the River Thames, pleads guilty to assaults on a woman after his release from prison. Multiple outlets report that he enters guilty pleas by video link while at HMP Swaleside in Kent. The assaults involve using barbecue tongs, with one report describing injuries to a new girlfriend after a pizza is burnt. Other coverage places the incidents in February and June of last year and says they lead to his recall to prison. Several sources describe the case as involving further conduct after his release, including alleged bullying or violent behaviour toward a partner over a period spanning late 2024 into 2025. Coverage also reiterates his earlier conviction for manslaughter involving Charlotte Brown, 24, who died in a speedboat crash in 2018, and notes his later time in custody following that case. Overall, the reporting agrees on the guilty plea, the method of assault, and the link between the assaults and his recall to prison.
