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.

It would seem between the 20th and 22nd of February her remains were then kept inside Cotton Mill Lane.
A teenager was killed by her step-brother in a "violent struggle" before her body was cut up with a power saw and a knife, a court heard.
Becky Watts allegedly told a friend that Nathan Matthews, who is on trial for her murder, described how he would kill her in 2013.
Nathan Matthews, the step-brother of Becky Watts, has admitted to killing the teen - but denies he murder her.
