Becky Watts trial: Accused had 'number of' threesomes

A woman has told the court how she had a threesome with Matthews and Hoare.

Shaking heavily, and crying in the witness box, the woman, who is not being named, said she had met Matthews through Hoare after they had been friends "for many years".

As she gave her evidence Hoare sobbed in the dock as the jury heard she had taken part in two threesomes with the couple at the beginning of 2014.

It started as a joke, when I was with my partner, because I spent a lot of time with them he would joke and say 'you are always there, what are you having a threesome?

We would laugh it off because it was ridiculous, but at the start of 2014 it came up in general conversation and we were laughing about it.

She said that Matthews had recorded some of their encounters, and seemed embarrassed at asking. She added that at one point - when she kissed Matthews - Hoare got "a little bit funny" but later apologised and blamed it "on the drink".

Everyone took part it in, it was all by consent. It was recorded Nathan recorded it on a phone.
