Becky's parents have said they are "devastated" at the discovery, as Fiona Lamdin reports
Police have until this afternoon to question two people suspected of murdering missing teenager Becky Watts.
Becky's step-brother, Nathan Matthews, 28, and his girlfriend Shauna Phillips, 21, have been named locally as those being held on suspicion of her murder.
She was last seen on 19 February. On Tuesday, body parts were found at a house in Barton Hill, Bristol.
Four other men and a woman, all in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Det Supt Mike Courtiour, of Avon and Somerset Police, said officers went to a house at Barton Court in the Barton Hill area of the city after receiving new information on Monday night.
He said the latest five arrests - two men aged 29, two aged 23 and a woman aged 23 - were made as a result of the find. All seven arrested people remain in police custody.
Becky's mother Tania, grandmother Pat and brother Daniel Watts released a joint statement following the discovery.
"We are devastated to be told of this latest development," it read.
"We are at an utter loss to understand why anyone would want to hurt our beautiful Becky in such a brutal way."
Father Darren Galsworthy and step-mother Anjie added in a separate statement that the news about their "dear daughter" was "too much to bear".
St Ambrose Church near the family home is to be opened from 10:30 to 21:00 on Wednesday and Thursday for people to light candles in her memory.
A book of condolence has also been placed there.
The Bishop of Bristol, the Right Reverend Mike Hill, said: "This is just a shocking, shocking business, and what it must be like for her poor family I cannot begin to imagine.
"The family have acted with great dignity. The family have made reference to the fact that it will be the people around them who will get them through this and I think they publicly thanked people for the level of support they've got.
"It beggars belief to know what they (the family) are going through and it sounds like today is going to be another difficult day as well."
