Accused bought a number of items to 'cut up and package' the body

Matthews and Hoare bought a number of things which could be used to 'carefully package' Becky Watts' body parts.

The pair were seen at a number of stores between February 20 and February 23 buying items including rubber gloves, rubber sacks and three rolls of clingfilm.

You maybe getting the picture already, the prosecution suggest based on what was happening on the 20th, 21st and the 22nd of February that it is during that time, that the lengthy process of cutting up, and carefully packaging, which involved using metres and metres of clingfilm, and a clearing up operation in the bathroom of Cotton Mill Lane must have taken place.

It would seem between the 20th and 22nd of February her remains were then kept inside Cotton Mill Lane.

– William Mousley, QC, Prosecution
