PC Jeremy Gale told the court a stun gun, which is a prohibited weapon, was found at Ms Hoare's house in Cotton Mill lane.
The court heard if it had been used for a split second it would have had a disorientating effect, and if used for longer the victim would have lost control of their muscles.
Mr Matthews, 28, of Hazelbury Drive, South Gloucestershire, admits killing his stepsister but denies murder and conspiring to kidnap her.
