US couple facing the death penalty in Uganda for trafficking foster child

 

An American couple is facing the death penalty in Uganda after being charged with child trafficking and torturing one of three foster kids from a Christian ministry there in their care.

 

Nicholas Spencer and wife Mackenzie Leigh Mathias Spencer, both 32, have been in custody since Dec. 9 after neighbors in the capital, Kampala, reported their alleged torture to police.

 

They moved to the East African nation for humanitarian work in 2017, fostering three children the next year from the Welcome Ministry in Jinja City.ย 

 

That included the alleged victim, a 10-year-old boy who went to a special needs school and is HIV-positive, according to cops and local media.

 

In announcing their initial arrest, Ugandan police said the Spencers โ€œconstantly torturedโ€ the boy from 2020, โ€œwhich attracted the attention of neighbors,โ€ who captured some of the incidents in videos.
