Described as a "beautiful happy, healthy woman" according to prosecutor Allison Hunter KC, Ms Spencer, who was once a "voluptuous size 16", was reduced to "skin and bone" following the length reign of abuse. "Over the months leading up to her murder the defendants, primarily Studholme and Richardson, subdued and dominated Shakira so totally that she was under all of their complete control.
Ms Hunter continued: "Then in circumstances of unbelievable depravity, [they] boasted about and on occasion photographed and filmed what they did and were intending to do to her.
