Brendan Faithfull to be sentenced Dec. 12 for fatal Feb. 4, 2024, boat crash on Hawkesbury River that killed fiancée Samantha Jones.
Brendan Faithfull, 40, faces sentencing on December 12 for the death of his fiancée, Samantha Jones, in a February 4, 2024, boat crash on Sydney’s Hawkesbury River.
The couple had been returning from a dinner and drinks outing when Faithfull, who was intoxicated and seen nude, lost control of the ski boat at high speed, crashing into a riverbank near Wilberforce.
Jones died from blunt force trauma, and Faithfull, who attempted CPR for an hour before emergency services arrived, pleaded guilty to culpably navigating a vessel in a dangerous manner causing death.
His legal team cited remorse, abstinence from alcohol since the incident, and severe psychological distress, seeking a community-based sentence under two years.
Prosecutors emphasized the boat’s power and speed, as well as reckless behavior, calling for a harsher penalty.
Jones’ family said they seek justice and recognition of her story.
