Becky Watts: Four more people appear in court
Four people have appeared in Bristol Magistrates’ Court accused of helping to hide or dispose of Becky Watts’ body parts.
Karl and Donovan Demetrius, both 29, and Jaydene Parsons, 23, all of Barton Court in Barton Hill, and James Ireland, 23, from Richmond Villas in Avonmouth, were charged with assisting an offender.
They all face a single charge of disposing or concealing Becky’s body parts with the intent “to impede the apprehension or prosecution of Nathan Matthews”. All were remanded in custody.
A fifth person – a 23-year-old man also arrested on March 2 – has been released without charge.
Becky’s stepbrother Matthews, 28, of Cotton Mill Lane, Barton Hill, appeared via video link in Bristol Crown Court earlier on Friday charged with her murder.
He was also remanded in custody to appear back before a judge at the crown court on March 26.
Matthews’ girlfriend, Shauna Hoare, 21, appeared at magistrates’ court on Thursday charged with perverting the course of justice. She will appear before the crown court on April 2.
The court appearances also came on the same day as Becky’s body was formally identified.
