Concern grows for missing teenager Rebecca Watts
23 February 2015

_81177778_81177777.jpg


Rebecca Watts was reported missing after not returning to her home in St George, Bristol.

Officers said it was "out of character" for her not to contact somebody if she had planned not to come home.

More officers were assigned to the investigation over the weekend. She is described as white, 5ft 4ins (1.6m) tall with long red hair.

It is thought she was wearing a blue puffa-style jacket on the day she went missing.

:tyou: for the new thread CP

Not the news I was hoping for when I woke up to today, like the family I was prepared for the worst but I don't think any of us thought it would be as horrific as this, I'm stunned and angry but quite lost for words :( Trying to digest the reality of what we now know, even as perfect strangers, it's hard to take.

RIP Becky :rose:
 
We don't know when she was murdered yet! Truly awful.
 
I can't imagine the unbelievable torture that her family are experiencing and I hope that they are able to support each other.

The number of arrests doesn't surprise me though, I have recently adopted 2 children who were abused physically and emotionally. They had a mum, step mum, dad, step dad, 4 sets of grandparents, and a host of aunts and uncles who were aware of their situation. They not only failed to report it but were complicit in the covering up and lying. They are safe now, but there were a LOT of family and friends who contributed to or failed to protect them.

I will never understand such depravity, and I should probably be glad that I won't.

Hugs to all who knew Rebecca.
 
When I saw the couple arrested I couldn't help but think of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. The way she was used to bring in a person as a woman is seen as less of a threat. But now with these new arrests I don't know what to think.

Surely this is not the first time they have done something like this? Who is brazen enough to start with the kidnap, murder and dismemberment (ugh ugh ugh) on the fly for their first crime?

The police have been holding everything so close to them that I doubt we will get many details until a trial.
 
Jmo, to be honest, unless this group is some sort of cult, dismembering was likely a matter of "convenience". An easier way to hide and dispose of her body, in their tiny brains.

Does anyone know of any other info that has gone out since the announcement this morning? Has anybody read anywhere who these seven arrested could be yet?
 
Sorry, horrible question... does it sound as though they've found all of her? I was thinking not, but realised there's no reason why I should assume that. They haven't mentioned continuing the search, so maybe they have recovered all of her.

Sorry such horrible thoughts, poor Becky :(

Probably something they've seen on some glorified tv show and they're stupid enough to think it would work in real life :/
 
Police confirm body parts found in Becky Watts hunt

I had been thinking along the lines of an accidental death, maybe an argument that escalated and got out of hand.

But this now seems much more planned, more calculated. Its sick. Whoever did this is sick. That poor girl.
 
It strikes me as unlikely that a young couple would randomly kidnap, murder and dismember a complete stranger and that five other people would help cover up for it. I suspect that the answer is in her extended family/circle of acquaintances and/or she had become caught up in something. The antecedent for this would be Mary-Ann Leneghan.

It's worth noting that I'd always understood both Southmead and Barton Hill to be less upscale and sometimes dubious parts of Bristol, although with the latter being associated with a high black population (although apparently this is a recent thing) and the former being more white working class. Both have significant drug problems.

More information on Lawrence Hill, of which Barton Hill is a part:

And Southmead:

The Zafira looks a relatively nice car for your average twenty somethings from some of the most deprived parts of Bristol to be driving around in.
 
Horrible, horrible news today.

Before this broke I was wondering about the devices. It doesn't seem likely to me that a teen would leave the house with phone/tablet/laptop at the same time. Apart from anything else that's a lot to carry and would need a fair sized bag. I'm thinking that maybe the laptop and tablet were found to be missing later and it was assumed that Becky took them, could they actually have been taken from the house at a later time by someone trying to cover up what had happened.

I didn't catch up with this until tread 2 so apologies if you've already discussed this.

I don't understand what you mean. Dismembering has always been one of the methods used by people seeking to dispose of a dead body.
Remember April Jones.
