GUILTY UK - Bennylyn Burke, 25, & her 2 daughters (1 found alive), Kingwood, 17 Feb 2021 *arrest*

[Legally Bland]

He is also appearing at Dundee sheriff court tomorrow, so does that suggest he isn't up on murder charges?

Is it not like in England where all cases start off in a magistrates court, just procedural? For cases like murder they automatically pass it on to the High Court and have an appearance there in the next day or two.

Could be, I am not entirely sure which is why I asked. My knowledge in that department is a wee bit scant!

Was the 7yr old found with the perp or in another location??

According to this article she was found at the house ~

“I keep wondering what happened to the little girl I saw being taken away by police from the house on Friday.”

If that eyewitness is correct and it's also correct that Bennylyn had been deceased at that point for a good while, I do not like where this is going. As if this case wasn't bad enough already.

Not been able to find any reporting on a court appearance as yet ? Are they normally slotted in at the end of the day?

Thanks @JosieJo!

"Andrew Innes, 50, allegedly used a hammer to murder 25-year-old Bennylyn Burke at his home address on Troon Avenue between February 17 and March 5.

It is alleged that Innes murdered Jellica Burke through “unknown means”.

Innes appeared from custody at Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday in connection with the allegations."

Dreading all the info that's going to come out about this. Already sounds absolutely horrific

Also, name tallies with earlier posts.

Oh this is going to be awful. The unknown means of death for the 2yr old, whilst keeping the older one alive is very worrying. I actually feel sick.

 

[proclee]

I’ve looked on his Facebook.. last year he posted pictures of a “daughter” washing his car during lock down she looked to be a teenager/young woman and there’s also pictures posted of a young boy who he seems to come across like his child (obviously both the young girl and boy not being biologically his). Where are they? Who are they?
The thought of what the poor older child must of witnessed is horrific

 

[JerricaBenton]

He has a wife and 3 children, who are Japanese. He looks like he lived in Japan for quite a few years too. The daughter is 14, boys are about 8 and 10, all have a UK name and a Japanese name.

 

[JerricaBenton]

He married his wife in Aberdeen in 2002, no divorce listed on Scotland's people. According to the marriage details, he may also be known under the surname O'Hara.

Exactly.

Used a hammer apparently.

This article has been associated with him, but I am not sure. Would he have got such a good job and travelled to Japan after a conviction like this?

It's just unfathomable. I expect the police are having to work very slowly and delicately with the surviving child. What a trauma, I can't even imagine.

 

[JerricaBenton]

Though he was at Aberdeen uni at the time of that attack ...

I have friends in common with him but do not want to ask them.
