Mr Everitt's body was found in Mautby woods, near Yarmouth. He had been tied to a tree, doused in petrol and set on fire.
The 17-year-old's decomposed body was found dumped in a swamp after he was apparently murdered in revenge for a tangled love affair.
Police established the retribution killing had been carried out in a manner which almost exactly replicated the film scene.
Clarke, from Telford, Stewart of Nelson Road Central, Yarmouth and Maria Chandler of Lancaster Road, Yarmouth all deny murder. The case continues.
