Speedboat killer Jack Shepherd moved to high-security jail after thugs ‘bully him’

SPEEDBOAT killer Jack Shepherd has been moved to a high-security jail after he complained of being bullied by fellow inmates.

Sources say Shepherd, 31, was transferred for his own safety after being spat at and is “not cut out for prison life”.

The web developer is serving six years for the manslaughter of Charlotte Brown, 24, after spending a year on the run.

He was being held at Wandsworth jail in South London but is now locked up with murderers and terrorists at Category A Woodhill Prison, Buckinghamshire.

A prison source said: “Despite Woodhill being full of the worst types, it has a higher ratio of prison officers to inmates.

“Shepherd actually feels safer there than at Wandsworth where he claimed inmates were bullying him and he felt threatened.

“When someone high-profile goes into prison, they will obviously become a target unless they can prove themselves.”

Charlotte, from Clacton, Essex, died on a date with Shepherd in 2015 when his speedboat flipped on the Thames.

He fled the country and was convicted in his absence before his return this year. Shepherd tried to fight extradition from Georgia, saying his life would be in danger in the UK.

Yesterday, his lawyer Mariam Kublashvili said: “We said he faced threats and danger in a UK jail, not to mention a toxic and unfair attitude in and out of the prison system.

“And now look what happened to him in a ‘safe’ and ‘secure’ British prison.”
