Default Wales : Paddleboard firm 2021 Women owner jailed 10 years river deaths

Shocking that none were given Life Jackets
That is the law.


Report just on Ch5HDnews


[A former paddleboard firm owner has been
jailed for 10 years and six months
after the deaths of four people on a river
in south-west Wales.

Paul O'Dwyer, Andrea Powell,
Morgan Rogers and Nicola Wheatley died
after paddleboarding
in "extremely hazardous conditions"
on the Western Cleddau river
in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire
in October 2021.

Nerys Bethan Lloyd, 39, an ex-police officer
from Port Talbot, pleaded guilty to
gross negligence manslaughter last month.

She was sentenced during a two-day hearing
at Swansea Crown Court,
which heard she was unqualified
to lead a paddleboard tour of this kind.
