Paddleboard river death boss was sacked from police

A paddleboard firm boss jailed after four people died in a river accident was sacked from the police over a fraudulent insurance claim.

Nerys Lloyd, 39, from Aberavon, was jailed at Swansea Crown Court on 23 April for 10 years and six months after the tragedy on the River Cleddau in October 2021.

Now the case has finished, South Wales Police has published details of a misconduct hearing for the former officer.

It reveals she was sacked in 2022 after claiming more than £500 from a car insurance scheme when the actual cost of repairs was around £20.
