Wow... poor Katie. How I wish she'd been able to fully cut him off instead of getting caught up in his games, he sounds awful! (Not blaming her at all, we've all seen enough cases of abusive relationships where the victim just can't escape, or gets killed when they try)

It'll be interesting to see how the defence manage to reconcile 12 separate hits with an axe, with throwing it (presumably only once?) and hitting her accidentally...
 
Its just so cruel, hes such a cruel man. Sueing a woman, a single mother, who is on universal credit, having the threat of bayliffs hanging over her, that awful. Its these little details that really get to me, like the few child murders we have followed here when the murderers would eat mcdonalds/kfc infront of the starving child.

And its the tooing and froing, sueing her, then saying he'll pay the bill, then retracting that, then saying he'll pay for her to go to the priory, then blocking, but i love you, then picnics..... Sounds like a mental merry-go-round. Poor Katie.

It’s called financial abuse. He wants to get his pincers right in to her like the parasitic tick he is. He loves to say things like “I only wanted to love you” “I hope you can find it in you to heal” because in his twisted head he seriously thinks he’s within his right to do what he wants.

Well a lot to process there! Didn't expect that it was so premeditated that he had dug a grave the day before she went missing.

He's not very bright is he?

Maybe he dug it just in case he accidentally threw an axe and it hit his ex gf? You can never be too prepared.

Burfield back in the dock​

Andrew Burfield has returned to the dock for the second day of the trial. He denies the murder of his ex girlfriend Katie Kenyon.

10:30

iPhone messages​

Prosecutor David Mcloughlin KC is going through mobile phone evidence with Det Con Acres, of Lancashire Police's Force Major Investigation Team.
Messages were recovered from the 'notes' on Burfield's phone. These were backed up to the iCloud on April 4 but could have been created earlier. These were messages which had been drafted but by April 4 they had not been sent anywhere.
On April 7, DCBL - Direct Collections Bailiffs Ltd were called by Andrew Burfield to check the value and fees relating to a payment. Burfield's iPhone was last backed up on April 4. Any messages or information recovered after that day was taken directly from the phone's storage, Det Con Acres says.
In a message sent on April 7 Burfield tells Katie he loves her and can't wait for the day they can 'put all this behind us', which he says will be 'pretty soon'.
'Pretty soon seems a million miles away Andy', Katie replied.
'He says it is only just over two weeks away, when Katie's life will change for the better. 'You won't look back', he adds.

10:31

CCTV footage​

A CCTV clip, recovered from April 9, shows Burfield leaving flowers and a bar of Galaxy chocolate on Katie's car, outside The Grove Care Home in Burnley, where Katie worked.
Shortly after Katie messaged Burfield, saying: "Now that's what I mean about little things, Andy"
On Monday April 11 Katie tried to make a payment of £300 to the bailiffs. She was unable to make the payment through the automated phone line so phoned the office to pay.
She messaged him, saying: "you frustrate me."

10:35

Evening before the 22nd​

Burfield replied he loved her too, and she needed to take time to calm down. He said he would see her on 22nd.
Later that night they chatted about what they were doing the evening, before Burfield saying he was hitting the sack before his 'breakfast date'. The following morning CCTV showed Burfield and Katie at the Brewers Fayre in Queen Victoria Road, Burnley.
At 11:38am Burfield messaged Katie, telling her: Proper love you, I can't believe how much I'm in love with you. Katie replied that Burfield was her best mate and she loved him.
Burfield said he couldn't wait to start their new future together.

10:36

"I've never felt safe with anyone"​

Burfield said he had opened a bank account in his name registered to her new address and put money in it that she would need. He said it was her money so he had put the same PIN in that she used.
Katie replied that she loved him and "felt safe with him".
"I've never felt safe with anyone", she said.

"I swear I'm better off dead"​

On Sunday April 17, Burfield messaged Mary Nightingale, a customer, saying he would do some work for her on Wednesday.
That evening Katie discussed selling her car or trading it in through We Buy Any Car. Burfield asked why she was reacting. Katie said she had been bullied by men all her life and needed to show she was not a pushover.
Burfield told her "you need to move on. Friday will be here before you know it."
Katie asked if she was a joke to Burfield. He said "no but our situation is a joke Katie, don't you agree?"
Katie agreed it was a joke but said she didn't know what to do.
"I swear I'm better off dead", she said.
Burfield replied: "No you're not Get a grip on it."

10:48

Testing positive​

On Monday April 18 Katie told Burfield she had tested positive for Covid and was off work.
Burfield said: "the universe is really kicking your arse isn't it? You don't have to isolate though?"
Katie said she had to stay off work unpaid and test again on Friday. She could still go out and the kids could still go to school, she said. That afternoon DCBL were called by Burfield to ask when he would receve the payment.
The firm replied Katie had paid on April 19 so he would receive the money on or about the 26th.

10:49

"It's true love"​

On Wednesday 20 April, Burfield asked Katie what was happening about a house he was going to let to her, saying it had been ready for five weeks.
Katie replied, saying the last message she received was "*advertiser censored** off" and she didn't believe the house was still available. She said they had arranged to meet on Friday April 22 for him to show her the house.
He said: "Friday it is, 22nd. Do you still want me to buy you a car? I only need you for three hours so let me know."
Katie texted him, asking "Do you want to save this relationship Andy?"
"Katie, it doesn't need saving. It's true love."
"Do you want to work at it?"
"Have I not been working at it? We won't sort anything until you are in a better place. You know this", he replied.

10:49

Phone intentionally switched off​

At 7.30pm on Thursday April 21, Burfield was seen on CCTV walking to his van at the rear of his house in Todmorden Road. The van pulled out of the back alley and turned right into Holme Street.
Det Con Acres says the footage now follows the van travelling west on the A671 through Gannow Top in Burnley, near junction 10 of the M65. Burfield's phone was tracked through contact with mobile phone masts (cell sites). It hit masts heading north.
The van was then seen on image from an ANPR camera in Reed, just past Padiham heading North.
At 7.55pm Burfield texted Katie telling her: "Still loving you babs". He said he was watching football after going out for tea.
At 7.58pm, Burfield was seen at McDonalds drive thru on the A59, just outside Clitheroe

At 8.32pm Burfield arrived in the area where Katie's body was later found. An hour later the van began making the return journey.
Burfield's phone was switched back on just after 9:30pm. It had been powered off for around two hours.
At 10.06pm the van was captured on the Reed ANPR camera, then on the A6068 Padiham, southbound, before turning round. There were overnight roadworks on the M65 which would explain the change of direction, Det Con Acres says.
Burfield arrived home in his van at 10.29pm. His return was captured on CCTV.

This was not his normal route home, but on that date, his usual route was closed for overnight roadworks

Burfield is then caught on camera arriving home at 10.29pm

At 11.16pm Amanda Cox sends a message to Burfield asking him if he's asleep

I found details of that quite triggering as someone having been in a relationship with someone that could turn very nasty (verbally and mentally) when things weren't going his way. They have you thinking it's all you.

This guy is an insecure joker IMO
 
12:30

Last contact from Katie​

He messaged Katie, saying: "Proper love you Babs." Katie replied: "Proper".
This was the last contact from Katie before she arrived at his home on the day she died.

12:31

Last call​

Over a five hour period, Burfield's then remained hitting the mobile phone mast which supplied signal to his house.
At 9.07am a call from Katie's phone to Padiham Primary School. The school logged the call saying: 'Mum rung, pain in the side. Waiting for a call from the doc. May be in later because mum has to go to work."
That is the last call made by Katie Kenyon. There were further communications from her phone but Det Con Acres says these were not made by Katie.

12:32

Arriving at Burfield's house​

At 9.16am, Burfield contacted customer Sarah Redmond, saying he would be at her house later that day or the following morning. Burfield was doing building work at Ms Redmond's house in Hillingdon Road. He also messaged another customer saying he had her down for next Wed.
At 9.18am Katie is seen arriving at the rear of Burfield's house in her white Ford Fiesta. She leaves the car and goes into Burfield's house. She was wearing black leggings and a blue open shirt, with a light coloured top underneath. She was also wearing flip flops.
Cell site information shows that between 9:19am and 10:24am Katie's phone was pinging off masts travelling north towards Gisburn Forest. Between 9:23am and 12:13pm, Burfield's iPhone 8 showed no activity.

12:33

Van leaves Burfield's house​

At 9.28am, Burfield and Katie were seen leaving Todmorden Road in Burfield's van. Burfield was driving and Katie was in the passenger seat.
At 9.33 the van, driven by Burfield, was back at McDonalds drive thru in Burnham Gate, Burnley. Katie could be seen in the passenger seat at this time. A print out of the order showed there was food for two people.
At 9.40am Katie's phone pinged off a mobile phone mast northbound. The van was seen on ANPR cameras on the A6068 Padiham at 9:45. Five minutes later the van was seen on an ANPR in teh Reed area, with two people in the front of the van - Burfield in the drivers seat and Katie in the passenger seat. This is the last sighting on camera alive.

12:34

Phone masts​

Katie's phone continued to bounce off masts heading north towards Gisburn Forest. This can sometimes be when an app is running in the background and does not necessarily mean the phone is being used by the owner.
At 10.24am the van was seen passing on a camera at a farm at Tosside.
Det Con Acres is now showing the jury a map, showing where Katie's phone lost contact with the O2 mobile phone network. The map also shows the location where Katie's body was found.
For 51 minutes, between 10:24am and 11:15am, Katie's phone had no communication with the O2 network.

12:36

Return journey​

The jury is being shown a photo of layby in Holehouse Lane, in a similar location to that visited by Burfield in April 2019. The jury heard about this visit earlier in the trial.
Between 11.15am and 12.19pm, Katie's phone then hit cell sites heading back towards Burnley. Mr Mcloughlin asks Det Con Acres: "Is it right that Katie is no longer with her phone?"
"Yes, that is correct", Det Con Acres says.
CCTV images and cell site data shows the van taking the reverse journey being taken by Burfield's Transit van. As the van passes the farm in Tosside it is now clear Burfield is alone in the van.
"We know that during this 49 minute time period Katie Kenyonis killed by Andrew Burfield and buried in a grave in Gisburn Forest", Det Con Acres tells the jury.
Burfield is also seen alone in the van as it passes Bow Laithe Caravan Park at 11:13am.
At 11:46am Katie's phone hit a cell site in the Accrington area. An ANPR camera in the Reed area shows Burfield alone in the van. At 11.58am, Katie's phone hits a mast in Burnley and the van is seen on ANPR Gannow Top.
By 12:05pm, Katie's phone is hitting a cell site in Burnley. This is the same mast that Burfield's phone has remained hitting.

12:42

"Still loving you Babs"​

At the same time, Burfield's van is seen on CCTV returning to Richard Street, behind his home address.
Katie's white Fiesta is still parked where it was left. At 12.19am a message was sent from Katie's phone to her daughter, in response to a message about the salad. It was two laughing emojis. That message was not sent by Katie.
Her daughter replied: "Ate it now."
At 12.32, Burfield messaged Katie; "Still loving you Babs."

12:43

Date night​

He then messaged Amanda Cox asking could they rearrange their date night for Saturday or next week as 'something has come up with the kids.'
Ms Cox replied that it was no problem as they had agreed the kids come first. At 13.30 Burfield messaged Katie's phone asking what she was up to. A message was sent from Katie's phone saying she was on a walk and asking what he was up to. He said he was 'grafting'.
During that time Burfield switched between WhatsApp and the Apple notes app repeatedly. This ties in with messages sent to Katie's children via WhatsApp.
