Three people have been found guilty of murdering a vulnerable woman who was tortured, starved and “treated like a slave” over many months, reducing her to a “gaunt and skeletal” appearance.

Shakira Spencer died after falling under the influence of her former neighbour Ashana Studholme, 38, her partner Shaun Pendlebury, 26, and their friend Lisa Richardson, 44.
