Becky Watts' alleged murderers "had a good laugh" at a spoof video of a hit from the Disney film Frozen while the teenager's body lay cut up nearby, a jury heard today.

Shauna Hoare, 21, played a 30-second clip of the "Do You Want To Hide A Body" video to boyfriend Nathan Matthews, 28, in their bedroom.

The jury heard the couple watched the clip while 16-year-old Becky's partly dismembered corpse lay feet away in the bathroom.

Hoare made an internet search for the Frozen parody less than 36 hours after the pair allegedly suffocated Matthews' step-sister at her family home in February.

She told the trial: "I was on my phone looking at films then the film Frozen came up and the video popped into my head."

Prosecutor William Mousley QC asked: "What affect did it have on Nathan?"

Hoare said: "He kind of laughed."

Mr Mousley: "It cheered him up?"

Hoare: "Yes."

Hoare: "Yes."

Mr Mousley: "It's just an unhappy coincidence Becky was lying dead in the bath a few feet away?"

Hoare: "Yes."

Hoare spent all day giving evidence and being cross examined in packed Court Two at Bristol crown court.

She said: "Most people don't understand the concept of Nathan and my relationship.

"Things that seem normal to us wouldn't seem normal to others."

Prosecutors claim the couple acted together in Becky's "sexually motivated" murder.

Former TA soldier Matthews has admitted Becky's manslaughter but denies murder.

Hoare, who denies all charges, told the jury her version of events was true.

She said: "It might seem slightly unlikely to people but it is completely plausible.

Hoare admitted she lied in a statement to police about text messages she sent to Matthews about teenage girls and kidnapping because they looked "sinister and suspicious".

Prosecutor Mr Mousley said: "Isn't it the case that you and Nathan were in this together from start to finish?"

Hoare replied: "No."

Mr Mousley: "And you thought you could get away with it didn't you?"

Hoare: "I didn't have anything to get away with."

Matthews, of Warmley, Glos, denies murder and conspiracy to kidnap.

Hoare, of Bristol, denies murder, conspiracy to kidnap, perverting the course of justice, preventing burial of a corpse and possessing a prohibited weapon.

The trial, which was adjourned until Tuesday, continues.
