Becky Watts: Investigations will continue
Police say their investigation into the murder of Becky Watts is likely to continue for several weeks.
Specialist forensic examinations will continue at properties in St George and Barton Hill as police piece together the full circumstances surrounding Becky’s death.
In a statement it has also been confirmed that “Becky’s property which was reported missing, including a laptop, computer tablet and mobile phone, have all been recovered.
Detective Superintendent Liz Tunks said: “There is likely to be ongoing police activity at properties in St George and Barton Hill for the next couple of weeks as part of our investigation into the murder of Becky Watts.
“There are specific forensic examinations which we need to complete to help establish exactly what happened to Becky.
“We’d like to reassure the local community that our primary aim is to conduct a meticulous and exhaustive inquiry into Becky’s death and even though there have been charges brought in this case, it continues to be an active investigation.”
Becky went missing from her home in Crown Hill on February 19.
Her remains were found last week at a house in Barton Court.
Six people have been charged in connection with her death including her step-brother Nathan Matthews who has been charged with Becky’s murder.
All six are due to appear at Bristol Crown Court on March 26.
