This is the disturbing moment Scots killer Andrew Innes purchased a hammer and cement in B&Q before murdering Bennylyn Burke and her two-year-old daughter
This is the disturbing moment a Scots killer purchased a hammer and cement in B&Q before murdering a mum and her child.
The 52-year-old went on to bludgeon Ms Burke to death with the tool before going on to strangle her two-year-old daughter, Jellica, in February 2021. He planted their bodies in rubble bags and concealed them in concrete beneath his kitchen floor at his home on Troon Avenue in Dundee. Prosecutors heard how he lunged on the mother, who he met on a dating site and lured to Scotland from Bristol, as she was preparing food in the kitchen. He said he thought she looked like a hybrid of his estranged wife and a jilted lover, which caused him to fly into a fit of rage.
He argued that the victims were not buried in concrete as he declared: “I dug them a respectable grave and gave them a Christian burial and then replaced the floor. That’s all I did.”
