Socialite Jasmine Hartin fined after killing Belize police officer

The Canadian socialite and former partner of the son of the billionaire and Conservative party grandee Michael Ashcroft has been fined after killing a police officer in Belize.

Jasmine Hartin, 34, was ordered to pay £30,000 by the supreme court in Belize City for manslaughter by negligence.

She must also undertake 300 hours of community service and film a video about the dangers of “drinking and making foolish decisions”.

Lord Ashcroft, Andrew’s father, holds Belizean citizenship and has a substantial business portfolio in the country.

Andrew Ashcroft obtained custody of the children in 2022 and moved to the Turks and Caicos Islands to launch a business venture.

Jemmott’s widow, Romit Wilson, spoke to the Daily Mail in April when Hartin entered her guilty plea.
