The Keeping Bristol Safe Partnership has conducted a review of the case of Becky Watts Bristol. She was 16 years old when she was murdered in February 2015. Shauna Hoare and Nathan Matthews were her killers. Their motive is unknown. The police are investigating the case.
Nathan Matthews
Nathan Matthews was sentenced to 33 years in prison for the murder of his step-sister. He is currently serving the term in Long Lartin prison in Worcestershire. Matthews and his girlfriend Shauna Hoare appealed the sentence in June 2016. Becky’s father described the sentence as “absolutely sickening”, “unsafe” and “inhumane”. A judge found that there was no reasonable argument to reduce the sentence.
At the trial, Matthews admitted that he killed Becky but said that it was a tragic accident. Hoare denied knowing about the crime. It took a jury three hours to convict both of them. Matthews was sentenced to life in prison and Hoare was sentenced to seventeen years.
After murdering Becky, Matthews and Hoare hid her body in the room and dismembered her body with a knife and circular saw. They then disposed of her remains in the neighbour’s shed. While Matthews initially denied murdering Becky, he later admitted manslaughter and conspiracy to kidnap. Despite his confession, he still denies the charges against him.
Matthews has admitted manslaughter but never took full responsibility for his actions. He forced Becky’s family and friends to endure a long, emotionally-torturous trial. He is now serving a minimum of 33 years in prison. His girlfriend has not been charged with murder, but with manslaughter.
While Matthews’ friends were watching a parody video of the hit Disney movie Frozen, it was not known whether they watched the version they watched. While they acted in a playful manner, the men watched a clip of the clip on YouTube, which featured two women impersonating characters from the Disney movie. During their stay at Becky Watts’ home, the two were armed with handcuffs and stun guns. The pair also played a game of Monopoly and even laughed at a parody of the Disney film “Frozen.”
The murder of Becky Watts shocked the country, but many observers remained puzzled as to why the teenager had been murdered. Nathan Matthews and Shauna Hoare were both convicted of manslaughter but Professor David Wilson suggested that the two men had a folie a deux, a form of shared psychosis.
Shauna Hoare
Shauna Hoare and Becky Watt’s relationship began in Bristol when they met and fell in love. Although the two were not married, Matthews’s sexual fantasies became a focus in their relationship, and he began to touch Becky’s leg through her clothing. The two began going out more and Becky became increasingly fashion conscious. She was also very fond of animals, music, and the cinema.
Becky Watts and Shauna Hoare met while working at a hostel in Bristol. They had been living apart since their teenage years, but were now living together in a house that was run by Bristol City Council. Matthews and Hoare shared a Facebook page, and Hoare allegedly shared leering messages with Matthews. The two had several threesome sex sessions.
Matthews and Hoare’s home was searched by police and forensic officers. Police found several items that could have led to the missing persons. The pair’s phone, laptop, and tablet computer were found in the house. Police also found Watts’ clothes and possessions.
After a period of 12 days, police found Becky’s body in a shed near their home. Nathan was later arrested and charged with murder and perverting the course of justice. After he was arrested, the police turned their attention to Shauna.
In 2015, Nathan Matthews and Shauna Hoare were convicted of murder and manslaughter for the murder of Becky Watts. Becky’s stepbrother was sentenced to 33 years in prison and his girlfriend to 17 years in prison. The families of both women accessed a number of services but none of them knew that they had a connection with each other.
Matthews was a young carer, and his relationship with Hoare began when she was just 15 years old and Becky was 22. She had expressed fears about being abused and told the family support worker that she had read about cases where a child was abducted. Becky’s behaviour was described as “controlling and lacking aspiration” and she was also described as being “frightened” of being taken by someone. She had a pronounced anxiety disorder. Her behaviour was also worse when her step-brother was present. In the end, no professional could have prevented this tragic event.
Hoare, who lived in Cotton Mill Lane in Bristol, denies murder and kidnapping. She also denies possessing a prohibited weapon and perverting the course of justice. The defendants, both men and women, were arrested after a police officer stopped the Ford Fiesta near the court in Bristol.

The report is based on information from a comprehensive investigation of Becky’s case. The BSP has identified eight lessons that can be learned from this case and nine recommendations to be implemented.
