Becky Watts: Schoolgirl told psychologist she didn't like her killer and was frightened of him
Schoolgirl Becky Watts, who was killed by her step-brother Nathan Matthews, had been frightened of him, a court heard.
The 16-year-old was strangled to death in February before her body cut up with a saw and knife and hid in a Barton Hill home.
Bristol Crown Court heard the teenager had told a child psychologist that she "did not like Nathan Matthews and was frightened of him".

I actually find it quite believable that the four accused of assisting an offender didn't realise they were hiding a body up until NM was arrested - I can more easily imagine them agreeing to store what they believed were stolen goods or drugs, than if NM had said "So, I killed my stepsister and chopped up her body, don't suppose you four would mind storing her till I figure out what the hell I'm gonna do, would you? I'd pay, of course!" I also don't think NM would've risked saying anything unless he had to.
Of course, they'd certainly have realised it was something more sinister when NM was arrested, and were probably trying to work out what on earth they were going to do...
Has it been made clear whether or not SH was actually at the family home when NM was murdering Becky ?
I do remember we were told that there were other family members at the home on that morning....
because if she was there, how on earth is she claiming she knew nothing about the murder ?
I mean really ?? NM is upstairs committing murder and she is sitting downstairs not hearing a thing ?
I think that is what will condemn them ( and rightly so imo ). NM and SH were arrested on the Saturday, the other 4 said nothing and JP said she was only just thinking about what might be in the bags on Monday evening, just before the police arrived. I don't buy that.
I wonder where NM was getting the money to pay KD & JI for helping....
Wonder what he delivered, along with the pizza
This breaks my heart. I wonder how long she was afraid of him, and why? Sounds like she may not have told her dad this (which makes sense, lots of kids don't tell their parents these kinds of things about stepfamily members). I am reminded of photos of her with her stepbrother and WS members tried to figure out whether those photos showed that she liked him versus that she did not like him.
