Matthews bought circular saw from B&Q

On February 20 - the day after Becky is thought to have been killed - Matthew's car is seen driving to Rajani Superstores at 12.20pm, where he purchases a bottle of one shot drain cleaner.

Less than a hour later he is then seen driving to B&Q in Horfield where CCTV images show him browsing the shelves for a circular power saw. He also picked up gloves, face masks and goggles.

At the till Matthews can be seen to query and argue the cost of the saw, claiming he "needed to have it that day"

The prosecution say all these items, bought on that day, were needed to be used in the dismembering of Becky Watts' body.

– William Mousley, QC, Prosecution
