Jack Shepherd: Speedboat killer extradited from Georgia to the UK
Shepherd's surrender came after repeated public appeals by Ms Brown's family for him to face justice for her death.
After his extradition was granted by a court last month, her family said he had a weak case and"no choice" but to return.Speaking in Tbilisi in the days before his extradition, Shepherd apologised to Ms Brown's family - however, he insisted that her actions had caused the deadly accident. No date has been set for Shepherd's appeal hearing, with the Crown Prosecution Service and the Metropolitan Police declining to comment on the case in advance of his arrival back in the UK.Tariel Kakabadze, Shepherd's lawyer, told reporters in Georgia:"He agreed to the extradition request because he believes that it's very important for him to participate in court hearings in the appeal court in the United Kingdom.
"He wants to answer all those important questions which exist in this case and which are not proven by any evidences. And we believe that his testimony will be very important evidence for the judges to make [a] final decision."
