The 38-year-old pleaded guilty over a prison video link yesterday (Tuesday, July 28) to two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and damaging property. He was originally jailed for 10 years for manslaughter in 2018 over the death of 24-year-old Charlotte Brown when his speedboat crashed during a first date. The case relates to incidents that occurred between 4 June 2024 and 4 August 2025 in Southall. In February 2025, Shepherd admitted pinning down the woman and “punching her several times, causing bruising to her arm and top of leg” during an argument. Shepherd denied manslaughter by gross negligence, but skipped the trial while on the run and did not give any evidence in his own defence.
