A “Complex Web of Relationships”

Thus, Shakira was subjected to degradation, humiliation, enslavement, and beatings for months together. The court said that her feet were scalded and she was only fed sachets of ketchup.

Allison Hunter KC, the Prosecutor, said, seeing the photographs of Shakira Spencer before her death, that the 35-year-old woman was size 16 in 2021. However, by July 2022, she had dropped to size six.

Ms Spencer’s Last Moments

Around September 11 and 12, 2022, the 35-year-old was on the brink of death. Thus, the abuse reached a new climax. Instead of taking Ms. Spencer to the hospital, Studholme and Pendlebury drove her home, putting her in the boot of the car. The duo tied her inside the cupboard where she died.

The court also heard that her body was later left to rot at the bottom of a children’s bunk bed. As her entire body was discovered in poor condition, the exact cause of her demise couldn’t be found.

The post-mortem examination discovered scalding wounds on her feet, cuts on her scalp, and crushing injuries in her ears.
