Nathan Matthews, 28, spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth at the hearing at Bristol Magistrates' Court

The stepbrother of 16-year-old Becky Watts showed no emotion today as he appeared in court charged with her murder.
Nathan Matthews, 28, walked into the dock wearing a short sleeve black tee-shirt for a brief hearing in packed Court Two at Bristol Magistrates' Court.
During the one-minute hearing, unshaven Matthews spoke only to confirm his name, address date of birth.
The court clerk told him: "You are charged that between February 18 and March 1 in Bristol that you murdered Rebecca Watts."

Inside, the public gallery was filled with about 40 people - mostly journalists - with no members of Becky's immediate family present.
Three uniformed police officers sat in front of the glass dock. Matthews had arrived in a marked police van shielded by four uniformed officers.
District Judge Lynne Matthews told the court: "As we all know, this case will have to go to the Crown Court.
"I cannot entertain any application for bail this morning and thus I will remand you in custody until tomorrow."
No details of the case against him were revealed to the court and he did not enter a plea to the single murder charge.

According to the charge sheet, Matthews is charged with the "murder of a person aged one year or older, namely between February 19 and March 3, murdered Rebecca Watts".
Matthews was handcuffed to a female dock officer and led to the cells. He was remanded in custody until a video link hearing at Bristol crown court tomorrow.
A few minutes later Matthews' girlfriend Shauna Hoare, 21, walked into the dock in the same court for a separate hearing.
The court clerk then read out the charge she faces during a hearing which lasted just over a minute.
The clerk told Hoare: "Between February 18 and March 1 you did a series of acts which had a tendency to pervert the course of justice in that you hindered the police investigation and assisted Nathan Matthews intended to help him evade detection."

Judge Matthews said: "This case also has to go to the Crown Court and is connected to the previous case.
"I understand that there is no application for bail. I send your case to the Crown Court at Bristol."
Hoare, dressed in a short-sleeved charcoal coloured tee-shirt, was remanded in custody to appear at Bristol crown court on April 2.
Four men and one woman, arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, remain in police custody.
Matthews and Hoare, who uses the surname Phillips on social media, were arrested on suspicion of Becky's kidnap on Saturday.
They were later rearrested on suspicion of her murder after body parts were found at an address in Bristol.
They were charged yesterday.
Hoare was previously taken to hospital by officers after "feeling unwell" in custody but returned after being seen by a doctor.

Becky, described as "wonderful" by her family, vanished from her home in Crown Hill, Bristol, at 11.15am on February 19.
Avon and Somerset Police launched a huge search operation - involving six police teams each day - after she was reported missing the following afternoon.
On Monday night, detectives received information that Becky's body had been "cut up" and they attended a house in Barton Court, Barton Hill, Bristol.
Body parts were discovered at the address, which continues to be combed by forensics teams. A private ambulance was seen leaving the property on Tuesday afternoon.
Bouquets, teddies and cards have been left at the family home and at the site where body parts were found.
