Becky Watts trial: Sister offered to 'search shed'

Sophie Parsons, Jaydene's sister, offered to go and search the shed at the home after watching a Crimewatch special on Becky with Donovan Demetrius.

She told the jury she went to her sister's house, which she shared with boyfriend Karl Demetrius in Barton Court, while Jaydene was at work, on March 2 - just hours before she was arrested.

Ms Parsons told the court she had spoken to her "worried" sister during the day and then watched the second half of the TV programme, with Donovan in the living room of the Barton Court house.

She said Jaydene had got home from work - at a local pub - around 9.45pm.

She seemed ok, she was her normal self, but she seemed a little bit worried about something.

While Donovan Demetrius was outside having a cigarette, Ms Parsons said the pair talked about Karl "in relation to Nathan", and discussed their arrests, including how Matthews had been further arrested for murder.

I told her if she wanted me to have a look in the shed then I would. She said no.

I told her to call Karl immediately, to tell him to come home so they can sort it out.

– Sophie Parsons

She said she then left the house, and came to learn in the morning that her sister, Karl and Donovan Demetrius, and James Ireland had been arrested.

Jaydene Parsons and Karl Demetrius have pleaded guilty to assisting an offender.

Donovan Demetrius and Ireland deny the charge.
