Becky Watts trial: Accused searched 'do you want to hide a body'

The woman accused of murdering teenager Becky Watts appealed for help finding her - then searched on YouTube for 'do you want to hide a body'.

Shaun Groves, a criminal intelligence analyst, told the court he had looked at phones handed to police by Hoare and Matthews - which the court had already heard were shared by the pair.

But the expert used a mix of witness statements, CCTV and phone information to attribute certain calls, messages and internet searches.

He told the jury that the day after Becky went missing (Feb 20), Hoare wrote on Facebook at 5.29pm: "Hi can you keep an eye out for Becky Watts and if you see her message me or ring me as she is missing."

But just hours later, at 9pm, a phone attributed to Hoare was used to search YouTube for 'do you want to hide a body'.
