Becky Watts Trial: Nathan Matthews - 'I didn't particularly like Becky'

In his second police interview, Nathan Matthews told officers that he didn't "particularly like" Becky, and found her attitude annoying,

Matthews, who was still a witness in the missing person enquiry,

I don't particularly talk to her because, obviously, I don't particularly like her, because obviously she has her moments, she will be normal in any other sense of a person, you know.... What annoys me is that way she speaks to my mum, sometimes she will be kind of like rude or something, or kind of demanding.

– Nathan Matthews

Matthews told police that he and Becky had never had a "proper argument" but he admitted to snapping at her on a few occasions.

She could be quite rude when she talks to you and that kind of thing.

I didn't particularly get on well with her or like her because of the way she speaks and talks to my mum.

– Nathan Matthews

Matthews said the pair used to get on when they were "bitching about Darren and things" but other than that they were "civil to each other" or, there was "no interaction" at all, when they were together.

Nathan Matthews denies murdering Becky but has admitted killing the teen.

Shauna Hoare denies all the charges.
