Matthews planned to pay the £10,000 to KD from £5,000 in his ISA and funds in his current account, plus Hoare had £5,000 in an ISA.

could he access SH's ISA without her authority?

Pros says PC said family of #beckywatts all looked 'genuinely concerned' about her disappearance. NM says 'I presume I did'

especially since the door doesn't close, with that pull up bar attached to the doorframe

I'd forgotten that. Though the one my son's got is removable and just leaves two little metal things above the door frame. Wonder if KD clocked whether the door was shut or if that pull up bar was still on.

Pros: Becky's father Darren told police she'd been heard to go out, "didn't you think that might cause suspicion on Darren?" NM: "No."

My brother had one and if you put it on the outer part of the frame the door would still close

If they did on line banking, then yes, provided he knew her password etc

Asked what it was that made him give his statement NMs says 'my emotions all came out' #beckywatts

Claire Hayhurst ‏@clairehayhurst · 33 secs33 seconds ago
Matthews: Emotions came out on March 2. Asked whether they came out before "not that I can recall, the only thing I can recall is panic".

Wonder how many of the prosecution questions NM's defence will object to? I'd have started at the beginning with who bought the batteries/why they were bought on the way to CH

Depends on the type of ISA too. One of my ISA accounts requires written authorisation and 2 days notice to withdraw or move funds - kind of a deterrent as it's such a ball ache

I'm sure they'll go over it all with a toothcomb. It will prob. take more than a day at least.

William Mousleys profile if anyone is interested. Looks like he has a lot of experience so hopefully he will tear NM's story to ribbons.

Matthews: passed items from loft to KD to pack in suitcase. Brought other suitcases and black bag from the kitchen, dragged box across hall.

So Nathan relied on Others to physically assist him that eve/early morn, but was physically strong enough to carry out the movement of furniture & hoarding items, to lift remains up to bathroom and then the dismemberment all by his lonesome?

Yes, it does seem an odd way to start doesnt it - but I guess he knows what he's about ( I say with fingers firmly crossed _

Ah, here we go. The wonderful person that he is, he decided to be magnanimous and tell all !

And put them up the loft himself

NM asked whether he has only told part of the story. 'You minimised what you had done' and whether he is trying to 'save' SH #beckywatts

NM asked if he'd tried to keep his girlfriend out of it, "Shauna had nothing to do with it"

Matthews is sobbing as the prosecution accuses him of lying to protect his girlfriend Hoare. "Shauna was nothing to do with it," he says.

NM breaks down as he explains his reason for confessing, talks of the family "I couldn't think of a way to protect them from the truth"

Claire Hayhurst ‏@clairehayhurst · 1 min1 minute ago
Matthews says he decided to confess after realising she was "neglected" in a police cell and Becky's family "deserved to know the truth".
