Becky Watts kidnap plan had 'sexual motive'
Becky Watts was murdered as part of a plan to kidnap the teen - which had a "sexual motive behind the scheme", a court has heard.
16-year-old Becky was strangled in her bedroom at her home in Crown Hill, Bristol before, the prosecution allege, her step-brother Nathan Matthews and his girlfriend, Shauna Hoare, removed her body to their house, dismembered it using a knife and power-saw and "carefully packaged" her body parts into bags and boxes.
Others, including James Ireland, and Donovan Demetrius, helped to remove the boxes and bags.
The prosecution say her death was part of a plan to kidnap Becky, where items were taken to her home to carry it out.
