Burton Mail
|April 24, 2025
A FORMER police officer who ran a paddleboarding company has been jailed for 10 years and six months after four people drowned during an excursion on a river in south-west Wales.
-
Nerys Bethan Lloyd organised a stand-up paddleboarding tour on the River Cleddau in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in October 2021, despite "extremely hazardous conditions" and weather warnings in place.
Lloyd failed to warn the group about a weir on the route or how to navigate it.
The participants were swept over, with some becoming trapped under the fast-moving water.
Paul O'Dwyer, 42, Andrea Powell, 41, Morgan Rogers, 24, and Nicola Wheatley, 40, all died.
