Rebecca 'Becky' Watts (3 June 1998 – 19 February 2015) was a 16-year-old student from Crown Hill in the St. George area of Bristol, England, who went missing on 19 February 2015 and whose dismembered body was found on 2 March in Barton Court. On 11 November 2015, Watts' stepbrother, Nathan Matthews, was found guilty of her murder; Matthews' girlfriend, Shauna Hoare, was found guilty of her manslaughter. Both were convicted of conspiracy to kidnap Watts.〔 On 13 November 2015, Matthews was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 33 years and Hoare was sentenced to 17 years in prison for her role in Watts' death. ==Investigation== Following a highly publicised appeal for information on her whereabouts and intensive police enquiries, body parts believed to be Watts' remains were discovered on 2 March 2015, in a house at Barton Court in the Barton Hill area of Bristol. Several people were arrested in connection with her murder, and for perverting the course of justice. On 4 March, Watts' stepbrother Nathan Matthews was charged with her murder. On 6 March, four other people were charged with assisting an offender, having been accused of helping to hide or dispose of Watts' body parts. A fifth person, a 23-year-old man who was also arrested on 2 March, was released without charge. On 22 June, Matthews' girlfriend 21-year-old Shauna Hoare, who was originally charged with perverting the course of justice, was also charged with murder. Matthews and Hoare were also charged with conspiracy to commit false imprisonment, preventing lawful burial and possession of an illegal weapon. The pair were also charged with four counts of making indecent images of children, although these were unrelated to Watts' murder. Matthews was also charged with sexual assault and voyeurism, which also were unrelated to Watts' murder. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Murder of Becky Watts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
