The murder of Shakira Spencer | How we solved it

- In Ealing last year, a call from a concerned resident who hadn’t seen her neighbour for some time resulted in the body of a woman being found.
The victim, 35-year-old Shakira Spencer, was described as “a beautiful soul who cared deeply about people."
The Detective who led this investigation explains the process of arresting and evidencing the sadistic and cruel murderers, who have since been sentenced to 34 years in prison each, after a trial at the Old Bailey.
I found this video after watching the sentencing of these three monsters.
God bless Shakira, and may her soul rest in everlasting peace.
I pray for Shakira's children and her family, that they may overcome this horrendous event.
Well done to the Metropolitan police and the prosecuting team, the judge and jury for outstanding efforts in bringing justice for this beautiful young woman Shakira. 🕊️🙏🏻🕊️
A little late to ask for God’s blessing…ya’ think?
@@rashone2879 it's never too late to ask for God's blessing.
Thank you for your comment, I feel the same. So horrendously sad.
I first saw the sentencing too. 100 years...each
@@robinsnest59 yes, it's just too awful. 😢
Hats off to the judge for the procecution and sentence
That doesn't happen very often with the English justice system. Sadly
Those three monsters probably don’t even care about what they’ve done. Evil!
Just barbaric to treat another human being with such evilness these people walk the earth. I would never understand how her neighbours never raised the alarm to police someone would have known what was going on.
Guilt got to the man because he told his uncle who bravely told the police
Luckily they will have a minimum of 34 years in max security to change their stance
Anyone that does what they have done trust me they feel zero guilt, they will just feel sorry for themselves having to spend the next 3 to 4 decades in prison.
If EVER there was a case calling for the death sentence or, at least, a punishment that brought home the disgusting brutality and cruelty these unspeakable creatures inflicted, this was it. How the family can possibly recover is beyond me. God rest this poor woman's soul.
Or at least, do away with minimum tariffs as the EU previously demanded.
Sentence to be held at His Majesty’s Pleasure.
That’s how the Moors Murders were held.
Each new Parliament, Home Secretary reads the file and decides if in the public interest it should be reviewed. If no, the file closes for another five years.
They never know if there will be a review or not. Sounds fair.
As for judicial murder, it was done away with because statistical analysis shows that for every ten capital convictions, one is over turned (10%).
If 50 people go to the gallows, then in a normal functioning system, up to five people risk being put to death in error.
In less rigorous systems, that statistic will inevitably rise. Britain had too many questionable convictions at capital punishment level and other convictions, that led to years in prison for some, would previously have been capital crimes (think wrongly accused IRA).
Apart from that, as signatories to the ECHR, capital punishment is outlawed completely for all crimes. This led to the tidying up of laws, particularly military law during the time of Tony Blair. Circa 1998
Murder is wrong. Judicial or otherwise. It often leads to errors in judgment and condemnation to the innocent. It is also against the law.
An alternative deterrent would be, as I said, no minimum term and a specialist penal colony off the UK mainland with a hard regime that will generate fear for the convicted, irrespective of whatever gender they are or claim to be. I have in mind a British, a tad softer and kindly form of the Russian Polar Wolf colony.
The physical infrastructure and routine is rather depressing and makes people long for their natural or unnatural death. However, prison staff ensure that each inmate lives, has food and can never inflict self harm.
There are no tv’s, play stations, woodworking class, open university etc.
Just time - waiting
The sentence these devils got is far worse than a death sentence
@@barbaraschwimmer1338 I'd like to agree with you, but they have shown no remorse and might easily fit in to the prison system as lifers. Over time, it's the kind of environment psychopaths, sociopaths and sadists would thrive in.
Also, with a life sentence the government (aka taxpayers) are paying for the support of this/these convicted killers. That is not just or right.
Never! We're not savages, We're not the USA.
It’s an understatement to say that the judge was disgusted! As we all are.
Quite agree. You could tell the Judge was appalled by those ghastly people. The judge was also compassionate towards the jurors. A very upsetting case for them. The suffering those monsters inflicted on Sharika was disgusting. How lovely she was before those sadists so cruelly robbed her of her life. R I.P sweet Sharika.❤
Where was Shakiras family this whole time? Dates add up to 18 months of abuse. Who don't check on your mentally disabled daughter for 18 months?
Someone who has been isolated their family would not have been allowed to talk freely, if they dud call, Shakira would not of been allowed to say anything that would have drawn attention to her captors. They would have done it slow enough not to draw attention.
I was isolated from my parents by my ex-husband he would not let me talk to them on my own ever and so there was nothing I could say to get them to help. It was my ex-Mother-in-law who contacted my parents when her son was away and got my Dad to come and get me before he returned home.
A simple welfare check and it would have been over. The police would have seen the bruises and other injuries. Nobody helped that poor woman.
@@dawsie the family report seeing her covered in bruises...
Exactly
Exactly what I thought.
Sadly this exploitation and violence towards the vulnerable is happening everyday. RIP Shakira you were and always will be a beautiful soul 🥰🩷🩷🩷🩷
yes happening all too often and victims of this type of exploitation and coercive control shouldn't be expected to be in the right frame of mind to consent to receiving support from services, before getting any help. It beggars belief that a vulnerable woman, clearly injured and unwell could just be left to fend for herself because she couldn't ask for help from services supposed to help.
I’m vulnerable also from the U.K. a. Women got conned into renting an attic for nearly £2000 per month, by an estate agent who I thought was nice. Experienced severe domestic violence which was the reason I had to leave family home, my family member is now in broadmoar. I’ve reached out to my local social services and council been ignored. I contemplate suicide every day- I did the right thing I reported the danger of my family member saved others from harm and lost my family in the process and what did I get out of it, to rot in a run down attic being financially exploited and no one cares!
R.I.P Shakira... ✝️✝️✝️
I HAVE to ask how many people stood by and watched it happen. The person who called it in was one of them but was probably afraid.
I find it hard to understand why her family or friends did not intervene?
@@primaveraitaly5002 Basically, because people don't care.
Also, it's so hard to believe that this, what happened to her, actually happened, and that may be part of it... So... sheer disbelief? Utter confusion?
If you ask for help, in a position like Shakira's, most people WILL dismiss you, certainly if you end up looking the way Shakira did.
Most and perhaps all councils, for example, and DWP, have no safeguards in place for people who are kept in modern slavery and for example ask for housing benefits etc and are forced to pass those on to someone else. People (victims) are too easily dismissed as dimwitted or mentally unwell.
It's clear to see this girls injuries !!
This would never be ignored in Glasgow!
In fact, it would never ever get to that
Huh? If a freakin stranger came up to me on the street, bloody, beaten up, emaciated and clearly not okay, I would NOT dismiss it. I don't think many would. I'm so very confused on how no family member checked in on her. I would watch more to find out but the story is so sickening I don't think I can stomach it. I'm just so confused if she had family and even children... where were they??
The presiding judge discloses in the sentencing that the male in this trio confessed to his uncle some time after they left Shakira to her own to pass away. The uncle was the one that tipped off Metropolitan Police to the inhumane acts of these disgusting individuals. There's no telling how long Shakira's death might have been left undiscovered if the uncle wasn't the confidant of the male.
Bless her soul ..so vulnerable and her poor family left devastated ..good police work too .
The depravity of some people is beyond words!
Pure evil
I'm speechless absolutely speechless! That poor woman, they snatched her light away! RIP Shakira! Praying for her family!
That poor woman is with God now.
Praying for her family.
@@drwoo6090 Excellent question. Maybe the Pope or Rabbi or some other person can answer that. I am not qualified to answer for God.
@@drwoo6090I'm not a religious person but goddamn, why do y'all gotta be so negative. 😭
The officer reading and doing this video is exceptional. Very professional. Correct tone of voice and eye contact. He’s very good. ❤
Well done the police in this case but you've got to wonder where were the family when all this happened.
It makes me shudder to think if it wasn't for the neighbours her body wouldn't have been discovered when it was & that was already a whole 2 weeks after her death!
Thinking the same - they obviously weren’t in contact even to check in on her. They say nothing will bring her back to them but they were never with her.
One of the murderers was a nephew
@@MoMo-qw5mpwas whose nephew? Shakira?
@@leocleo7168maybe they called and texted but murderers had the phone
Totally horrific,I hope they never get released RIP sweet Shakira.
I’m confused where was her kids at during, and when all this was going on where was her family at?
Yeah we're they growing up without a Mother already? Were there previous red flags ignored and what was the victims relationship with the killers what was the motive either money?
How Can People be so Evil????..What the FU#&$%CK!!!😯😢😓😡😠🤬🤬🤬
Evil live among us. 😈😈😈😈
All the articles said she was a mother of two, I assume she did not have custody of them? There were also family members making comments, how/why did they not intervene?
People who commit such gross acts of cruelty and murder should never see the light of day again. The fact thar they lied to police shows they could nt care less about the pain inflicted on this poor woman and her family. May Shakira rest in Eternal peace. God rest her soul.
Thank you for bringing them to justice.
If she had kids an a family ,,where were they when all this was goin on,if that was my sister an someone tried to manipulate an treat her badly,,,im sorry but they,d never torment another person again,, because they wouldnt be able to walk,,,
Exactly my question.
@white_clover767 That poor beautiful girl. As she was described as shy, timid, vulnerable and living alone, you would think members of her family would be checking on her every day.
I was on the indictment video first but jumped to this for a brief details after the judge excused the juries. Phew… I’ll take a short break before I go back. This is so disturbing.
I pray for the victim family to find some peace of mind and overcome their tragic loss.
a beautiful woman , so sad
So sad. In Australia we had the Anita Cobby case which shocked the nation. Makes me ashamed of a significant portion of the human race sometimes.
Lord have mercy on all of us for living in a world where this could happen. 😢
Every time my faith in humanity is restored by kind hearted people doing the right thing, along comes some other people to take it away again.
Putting them in jail won't bring back Shakira Spencer.
I will try to be a better person, to everyone, every day, for the rest of my life, because I heard about this case, to try and honor Shakira's life. I hope her children will meet someone like me, and benefit from our kindness.
Condolences to the Spencer family.
Sorry is not enough.❤
Why did family not intervene....
Thank you to the officers for bringing these evil peoole to Justice and to the Judge for her sentencing and seeing through the excuses used in mitigation, to the jurors well done thank you for your service..
🙏 goodness me that poor woman , god have her soul now. I just watched the sentencing what they did to that poor girl I could only listen to so much before I had to forward to the end of proceeding 😢
@@thebodykeepsthescore2828 you really think people believe god is meant to stop anything bad happening ever ?! You make it make sense !! Lol imagine that a perfect world where nothing ever changed or developed because everything was just fucking perfect lol what a pointless reason for spirit to come to a physical plain to feel nothin then what we already knew ?!?! . And yes I’m saying because I’ve spoke with god a couple of times after my sister was murdered. And I know why bad shot has too happen. I know I can’t give you any faith in any thing you have to find your own. But I know shes well. You will one day too ☺️ . Free choice is what we get in these bodies . God gave us that to do what thou wilt. Trial and retribution for good and evil deeds come naturally to us as animals /humans/communities of people
@@thebodykeepsthescore2828 you only believe what can be recorded ?!? Like how exsistence began ? We’ll if you believe we exsist at all somehow that’s magic . What come first chicken or the egg ? You make that make sense and I’ll believe anything you say
@@thebodykeepsthescore2828there is a issue at stake: can mankind rule over themselves, aside from the big problems we face like war and poverty, there is these crimes like this that are happening on a daily basis the world over, when the last days come to a finish, never again will man be allowed to rule themselves!
*God
@@Poeticfloetic ???
Wow 😯 good job on this case!
These people are pure evil. Its good they were brought to justice and received a life sentence. Its heartbreaking imagining what Shakira had to endure and nobody coming to rescue or prevent it. They had previous conviction for doing the same thing. We need to be more careful and tougher on people who do this kind of crime. There is no mitigation, and the fact they tried to come up with excuses for doing it just goes to show what kind of disgusting and disgraceful people they are.
Where was Shakira family?
If there was ever a need for Capital Punishment . . .
sick demons
This is one of the most horrifying murders I have ever come across. Thank you for bringing those 3 psychopaths to justice. God bless you and your team.. Rest in Peace beautiful Shakira... Rest in power ❤
Where were her children?
This is horrific!! I can’t believe the monsters didn’t get the death sentence!!
Sincerely grateful, no price for the heroism of your dedication.
😢so very sad..i just read she has 2 children..just sickening
And what about her own family?
I read somewhere that they had tried to help her. It’s difficult if you’re a parent of a vulnerable adult as no-one will help.
The monsters kept her away from everyone
That's what I'm wondering. After the first bruise you bring her home. You don't ask nicely.
Pure tragedy but at least the monsters were apprehended & tried. Well done solving a truly evil series of crimes.
She was so pretty .
Wheres the outcry from BLM?
You really thought your comment did something. Not all black people support stupid BLM. So take your fake outrage somewhere else.
Utterly horrific. Top marks to the enquiry team, one and all.
Fantastic work! Well done.
Where were her children, her mother, and other friends and family during this time?
THANK YOU for dedicated and dutiful police work
RIP Shakira
I am truly heart broken. Rest in peace angel.
As someone that is going through similar (learning disability); and been classed by MARAC as high risk I’ve cried out to my social services and have been ignored. These things are still happening, like my perpetrator has been on the news for their violence and still no action. I hope I’m not another black female statistic, and if I do die, I hope journalists will have this comment to show that I did try to get help and my local council failed me.
Rest in peace shakira I’m sorry you were failed by so many around you. ❤
May EACH One have a TRULY EXCEPTIONAL time in prison.
Evil People!
I’m sure justice will be administered by their fellow inmates…….it’ll be a huge case of tit for tat.
Where were her family? They also allowed this to happen
🙏🌻🌸 Shakira Spencer, may your eternal immortal soul finds confort, wisdom, knowledge, kindness, compassion, peace, humility and absolute truth. 🙏🌻🌸
I watched the sentencing video. In it, the judge said several people saw her weeks before her death injured and in bad shape. WHY DIDNT ANYONE CALL POLICE?????
This makes me sick and I can only say that those who failed to report are just as responsible for her death!
I’m in Edinburgh and saw the mother and daughter on tv, but why didn’t they check her flat and although l don’t know the full story. I’m unsure if the family pushed the police enough to find her. She was missing foe months. Rest in peace Shakira and hope your family Will cope, as this is a shocking end to her life, she seemed kind and very vulnerable. Bless you Shakira
The police bumped into Shakira 10 days before she died she told them she was OK and despite them seeing injuries on her face, they didn't bother to take her home arrange a welfare check or anything neither did her family or friends no one helped or checked up on her despite the fact she had special needs now her family have appeared expressing their sorrow too little too late.
Ashana went to leith academy
Evilness is more rampant in our society than ever before. These three convicts were judged on Earth. They will be judged again by the Lord after they pass on.
Hearing this case and thousands of others, makes it make sense to be agoraphobic.😢😢😢 Rest in Peace, Ms. Spencer
Does Britain not have the death penalty????? SERIOUSLY.
What a joke.
Nope same here in canada and unless you are dangerous life is 25 years
34 years each. Out in 20. While yhey still have a luttle bit of life left.
They took that from someone that was lookjng for friendhsip.
Yet she was abused, tortured, then .urdered by those she thought were friends.
The sentencing laws in this country are a fucking joke.
I sincerely hope, somebody gives a nice fat deposit, to the first person that metes out justice, for Shakira.
We are all in a world of pain, as this will not abate. Lax sentencing, will only exacerbate this problem.
Justice should SEEN to be done. Yet it is not.
An eye for an eye, is the ONLY appropriate sentence, for these... these vile vermin.
I cant imagine what this poor girl went through.
I pray her soul is at rest.
I may have heard wrong but I watched the judges sentencing and understood that the sentence was life and it would be 34 years before they will even be considered for parole. They were told that it was possible they would never be released.
The judge did say they may never be released and 34 years to be served before even considered for parole. Hopefully they will never be released.
No, they have to serve at least 34 year before considered for release
Ok thanks guys. I watched it again, and yeah, it seems like it's life with a recommendation of 34.
Not sure if behavioural changes, 'finding God' & all that, will make release happen a bit earlier...
Let's hope not.
Thank you for catching those monsters. R.I.P Skakira.
Another deeply disturbing case of human depravity knowing no bounds perhaps for me made disturbing ly more serious by the agonisingly long period of time ove
"How did we solve it? ... Someone told us who it was."
GREAT WORK CHAPS!! VERY HARD WORK!!!
Heartbreaking, poor girl ..thoughts to Shakiras family and friends, may the three, vile, evil, articles, have the worst time in prison..😢
Where was her family ?
i hate confused looks on killers
Death sentence
Damaged DNA
I will pray for shakira's family rest in peace shakira🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I just listened to the sentencing and hearing man my heart was shook up. RIP Beautiful xx
this is why I roll solo and trust no one....
And what about her familiy??
Just so horrible it's puzzling how non of her friends or family checked up on her. Very sad😢
Her family really let her down.
I hope they receive FINAL justice in PRISON !
I’m surprised the Met found the time to solve this when there’s so many people to arrest for hate crimes .
Demons are real. So sad. I hope her family and friends will heal.💔
Barbarism on the increase. RIP Ms. Shakira Spencer. Thankful for justice on your tormentors and killers, and may your family and friends find solace in that.
Prayers go out to this young ladies family,
Heart breaking.
What is wrong with people? How could anyone do this to anyone? I can't believe she lived as long as she did. Prayers to her family.
When these kids find out how torturous their mothers death was, they will think about it every single day and the sadness will kill them on the inside
Footage of Shakira black eye walking to a front door. In a densely built area. No scream or eacape then?
I’m thinking her family obviously weren’t in contact on a social level not even to check in on her. They say nothing will bring her back to them but regular social contact would’ve have protected Shakira from this enslavement in the first place. And where were her children ? Did they witness the horror treatment?
This is beyond Evil these monsters should never get out of prison from the rest of the their life
No winners here! Terrible that no one in the community cared enough to protect Shakira from these ‘low life’ freaks!!Says alot!! So sorry Shakira 💔🙏🏽
In the documentary you see that her neighbour really tried to help and raise alarm to authorities
They tortured her for months.
How come her own parents and old friends didn't know what was happening?
They must have known her vulnerable mentality and still didn't check up on her or visit during all that rime.
Wow ... didn't know y'all still had justice down there ... amazing what the cops can do when they do their job ...
Omg my heart is hurting for her and her family these evil devils should never come out
Well done police investigators. Well done the judge that sentenced the 3 to 34 years jail without consideration of parole.
How did this happen if she had family and kids - where were they when she went missing?? To die in a cupboard where were friends and family?
The brains and dedication behind the investigating team, is to be commended. I don't want to say whats on my mind, why did it take the uncle of one of the offenders, to bring this to the attention of the police. He is to be commended for his action, I'm sure he has been abused for his actions, by some of his family. No one would isolate me from my Daughter, in a situation where I knew she was being badly abused. I don't care what it would have taken, even if it meant having her assessed and declared incompetent to look after herself. From the Judges summing up, it was known and she had been seen with severe bruising to her face and body, I'm at a loss, a beautiful young woman and Mother dead, when it could have been prevented.
But why didn't she called her mother to help here??
These three should of received a whole life order but i pray they will never see the light of day. I worked in the prison service for 23yrs and have seen some evil people in my time but this case was by far horrific beyond words.
To shakers Spencer Justice was finally Served. Thank You for putting those monsters behind bars. R.I.P shakira
I’m not understanding how they managed to gain control over Shakira and where was her family. This lady died a slow, agonizing, & painful horrific death. What demonic monsters they are to do this to her!
I didn't know about this case Shakira Spencer Rest in Peace, I am So Sorry This Happened To You, But Happy That Justice Was Served 😢
RIP Lady ❤
Many people do not care about a person's 'life' anymore.
What has happened to people????
How does something like this happen? What's the psychology behind it? Not the monsters. They were just evil, but Shakira had friends and family. How does someone like that fall victim to monsters the way she did. So ao sad. May she rest in peace.
In a YT video named "Trio jailed for over 100 years for murder of woman they treated like slave " which explains the crime in
agonizing graphic detail (you may want to skip!!!) the judge gave them all life in prison. (Not just 34 years each)
I went to school with Ashana in Edinburgh - she was bloody crazy - no surprise that she did something this depraved, sadly.
How did Shakira come across these demons
