The stepbrother of Becky Watts today broke down in tears as he told a jury he did not intend to murder the schoolgirl.

In the public gallery, Becky's dad Darren Galsworthy and Matthews' mum Anjie held hands as he gave evidence.

Matthews and his girlfriend, Shauna Hoare, 21, are accused of killing the 16-year-old in a sexually motivated kidnap plot on February 19.
Bristol Crown Court has heard the pair targeted 5ft 1ins Becky due to their alleged shared unnatural interest in petite teenage girls.
They allegedly murdered Becky in her bedroom at her family home in Crown Hill, Bristol, before driving her body to their home in Cotton Mill Lane, Barton Hill, Bristol.

Tragic: Becky Watts, 16, disappeared from home in Bristol in February

Prosecutors say the couple dismembered Becky in the bath of the terraced property using a circular saw, before packing her body parts in bags, cling film and tape.

These were discovered in suitcases, bags and a blue box in a garden shed in Barton Court - 80 metres from their home - in the early hours of March 3.

Adam Vaitilingam QC, defending, asked his client: "Did you intend to kill Becky?"

Fighting back tears, Matthews replied: "No."

Mr Vaitilingam asked: "Did you intend to cause her really serious injury?"

Matthews answered: "No."

He then burst into tears, telling the court: "No, no... No I didn't."

Matthews - who claimed he wanted to teach her a lesson for mistreating his mother - is accused of bundling her body in the boot of their Vauxhall Zafira.
He eventually wrote a confession to police claiming he acted alone and cut her into pieces in his bath, the jury has heard.

The remains were found in a shed behind a house belonging to Karl Demetrius and his girlfriend Jaydene Parsons, also inhabited by Donovan Demetrius.
Matthews has pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denies murder and conspiracy to kidnap.
He has also confessed to perverting the course of justice, preventing Becky's burial and possessing a stun gun. Shauna denies all charges against her.

Karl Demetrius, 29, and Parsons, 23, admit assisting an offender while Donovan Demetrius and a second man, James Ireland, 23, deny the charge.
The trial continues.
