Andrew Innes hammered and stabbed his ex-wife, Bennylyn Burke, and strangled to death her daughter, Jellica, in 2021. He then buried them under concrete in his kitchen.
EDINBURGH, Scotland, United Kingdom – Andrew Innes, 52, was found guilty of murdering Bennylyn Burke, 25, and her daughter, Jellica, 2, by a jury at the Edinburgh High Court on Monday, February 6. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment and will be considered for release on parole only after serving a minimum of 36 years.
During the trial, Innes claimed diminished responsibility, owing to his medication after being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Crohn’s Disease. He said he killed her “because I was insane, as a result of the steroids.”Bennylyn Aquino-Burke met Innes through a dating website. He came to Bristol, where the mother and daughter lived, to drive them to his home in Dundee, some 440 miles away on February 18, 2021.
In separate interviews with the BBC, Shela described her sister thus: “She was kind. There was nothing bad you could say about her.”
