Becky Watts Trial: Knife and 'blood stained' goggles found among items in shed

The suitcases used to hide the dismembered body of Becky Watts have been shown to the jury.

Three suitcases, one black, one black and grey and one black with polka dots, were brought into court alongside a blue plastic box and a rucksack.

Each were discovered in the shed at Barton Court where the teen's remains were discovered.

A crime scene investigator also told the court how she discovered "blood stained safety goggles" among other items in the rucksack.

Lucy Pinkard told the court how she had discovered the goggles hidden beneath a plastic bag and three layers of clingfilm alongside a 12.5cm black-handled knife.

There appeared to be apparent blood and hair around the hilt.

– Lucy Pinkard, crime scene investigator

Handcuffs and two screw drivers - a blue flat headed version, and a black headed six-pointer screw driver - were also found buried in the bag.

The crime scene investigator said two "paper-style" face masks - with "apparent makeup staining", a pink child's leopard print onesie, a hooded jacket, a pink spotted shower curtain, and make-up brush, were discovered in the haul.
