Not that it matters in the slightest, but that's not at all what I thought he might look like.
Good lord! He's delusional!!![]()
Man accused of murdering mum and daughter tells of 'anger' before hammer attack
Andrew Innes told jurors on Thursday he started having 'very crazy' thoughts before assaulting Bennylyn Burke on Sunday February 21, 2021.www.dailyrecord.co.uk
Unless they've had to call the psychiatrist out of sequence then he's a defence witness too.Andrew Innes repeatedly changed account of Bennylyn Burke killing, court told
Psychiatrist has blown him out of the water
I feel like the details are so grim that publications might be waiting til it's all over to print a summary. Plus there's no doubt he did it so there's no 'guilty or not guilty' suspense. (Except in his own mind.)Btw; is anyone else finding the coverage of this case severely lacking? It’s a major, horrific crime, but I’ve not seen it mentioned on the UK news. It’s not on the BBC app or website homepage. It did make the Scottish news last night but besides that all updates seem to be gleaned from tabloid websites, and the info given is very piecemeal
Any bets on the other charges? I think they'll convict him on everything
Yes that's everything except the trying to escape justice charge. Not sure it matters. That poor poor family.![]()
Andrew Innes jailed for murdering Bennylyn and Jellica Burke
Andrew Innes will spend at least 36 years in prison for killing Bennylyn and Jellica Burke after luring them to Dundee.www.bbc.co.uk
Are these all of the charges in this article? Guilty on rape and sexual assault of the children too.
What an absolutely sickening set of crimes.
As I understand, Scotland doesn’t have whole life sentences. This would certainly be a case where it would be warranted in my opinion and also in my opinion, that sentence would have been handed down in England.36 years. Perfect. He’ll die in there.
Edit: If he were younger it wouldn’t be enough though. For me, with crimes like this, life needs to mean life.
Literally makes my blood boil with rage![]()
How Bennylyn and Jellica Burke were lured to their deaths
Bennylyn Burke and her daughter were taken from Bristol to Dundee by a calculating killer she met on a dating site.www.bbc.co.uk
Innes had joined 34 dating sites, including one called Filipino Cupid - which Bennylyn had also joined to seek companionship.
Police later discovered that Innes had compiled a spreadsheet of data harvested from the site.
It graded women according to their age, height, weight, and if they had children.
His "top scores" were women in their mid to late 20s with young children.
This was how he met Bennylyn.
