In 2015, 16-year-old Becky Watts was brutally murdered.
When police entered the back shed of a man’s home, a friend of Watts’ stepbrother, they found her body.
The friend had been bribed $17,000 to house the remains.
Now a documentary, ‘Faking It: Tears Of A Crime’, which investigates the tragic death of the young woman has revealed that psychologists worked with body language and speech experts to determine that Shauna Hoare, the girlfriend of Nathan Matthews, was guilty of murder.
“She’s over-egging this, she’s over-emphasising the gesture,” Body Language Analyst Cliff Lansley says in the documentary.
“We also get a single-sided shoulder shrug after she’s made the comment. It contradicts any affirmative statement she’s making. She’s saying she left the house, but her shoulder is saying, no she didn’t,” he added.
The expert explains that while her body is telling the truth, her words are lying.
The young couple fantasised about kidnapping the 16-year-old victim in Bristol, and let themselves into her home in Crown Hill on February 19 2015.
Hoare was later sentenced to 17 years in prison, while Nathan Matthews was sentenced to life with a minimum of 33 years.

This is scary, I mean really scary that a shrug is used as "evidence" against her and is admissible in court. Notice how a "documentary" (i.e., reeducation or brainwashing) is made to convince everyone it's legit. I can't believe that everyone is okay with this. What utter hogwash. Unbelievable and frightening. There's a reason that lie detector tests are not admissible in court, people. It's because they don't work and this baloney is right along the same lines. They have only devised this as a way to use against you and put away and silence whomever they want. Can't you see you're being tricked into accepting this as normal?!?!?!
She may or may not be guilty, but I would like to see some real evidence against her before I decide her guilt or innocence.
There was tons of evidence. They had her body in their car and they took her to their house and dismembered her over several days. He admitted it all.
I don't think you need to get quite so worked up: during an investigation, evidence piles up. Not all of it is proof, but evidence helps steer the investigation. Body language analysis is evidence for investigators. How well such evidence might be received in court is beyond my knowledge, but you can rest assured that she was not convicted based on her body language. She was convicted based on far more conclusive evidence including text messages between her and her boyfriend, and discrepancies in the versions she gave.
There is no "life" sentence if there is a minimum stipulated. Sentencing wording is now a total bonafide lie, to hopefully, mollify the public, and the surviving loved ones and families of the innocent victims.
Short version: Sentences handed down are on their face a total lie.
