A man convicted of killing his date in a speedboat crash in the UK has handed himself into police in Georgia after months on the run.

Jack Shepherd was sentenced to six years in July for the manslaughter of 24-year-old Charlotte Brown.

The 31-year-old had been in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi since March and was absent throughout his trial.

Ms Brown’s father Graham Brown said: “Just been informed that Jack Shepherd has been arrested in Georgia.”

A spokesman for the Georgian Embassy in London confirmed Shepherd’s arrest.

It comes after Ms Brown’s family met with the Home Secretary Sajid Javid on Tuesday to renew their appeal to hand himself in.
