Andrew Innes also told the High Court in Edinburgh that he was unable to look after Bennylyn Burke’s “screaming” toddler daughter whom he is also accused of murdering.
A man accused of murdering a woman and her young daughter and burying under his floor told detectives the woman came at him with a sushi knife, a court has heard.
The officer said Innes replied: “Last Friday she came up. We were going to spend the weekend together. Detectives then learnt of an accusation of a sexual assault against a young girl in the property at the time, for which Innes was arrested and cautioned.DC Greg Irvine led the jury through security camera footage collected by police, which showed Innes going to B&Q in Dundee’s Kings Cross Road, where the jury was told Innes bought a hammer.
The interviewer was told they both were given £2.10 after one incident. The girl recalled the alleged assaults against her, and said Innes used handcuffs and put tape and a sock on her face. “It felt terrible,” she said.
