Becky Watts trial: Lack of Becky DNA in bathroom is 'extremely surprising'

A forensic scientist has told court it is "very unusual" that no DNA

Asked if there was any DNA belonging to Becky in the bathroom at Cotton Mill Lane, Ms Morse replied "there was nothing found in, or on, the bathroom".

It doesn't mean she couldn't have been dismembered in the bathroom, it could still have happened, I find it extremely surprising we found no blood in that bathroom, it is a difficult thing to try and clean up from all the nooks and crannies.

– Claire Morse

She added, if the dismemberment did happen in the bathroom it would have been a "combination of covered surfaces and full cleaning".
