Becky Watts’ killer Shauna Hoare has ‘had to be resuscitated twice after becoming a target for violent beatings in prison’
Shauna Hoare is serving 17 years for manslaughter, for her part in the brutal death of the Bristol youngster last year
THE killer of teenager Becky Watts has been targeted in such heavy beatings in prison she has had to be resuscitated twice, a close friend has revealed.
Shauna Hoare is serving 17 years for manslaughter, for her part in the brutal death of the Bristol youngster last year.
She was the girlfriend of Nathan Matthews, 28, Becky's stepbrother, who got 33 years after being convicted of murder in the sexually-motivated kidnap plot.
The 22-year-old has told a friend she is a target for other prisoners.
The pal told the Daily Mirror: "Shauna has been so badly beaten up she had needed to be resuscitated twice.
"She says the best she can do is take it day by day.
"She really has to watch her back from what she tells me and just does everything she can to avoid dangerous inmates. Shauna is having a terrible time."
An HMP Bronzefield spokesperson said: “These allegations are completely untrue.”
According to the friend Hoare sends her letters where she shows little remorse about Becky's death, and is adamant she knew nothing.
Hoare is serving her time in HMP Bronzefield in Surrey after Becky was suffocated in her Bristol bedroom. She was later dismembered at the home of Matthews and Hoare a few miles away.
The pair appealed against their sentences, but were rejected.
