Cannot see the fb comments, so will just post this..

''Now their relatives have been informed after detectives north of the border launched a major investigation at a five bedroom property in Troon Avenue, Dundee, on Friday.''
''Police Scotland said relatives were being supported by officers from Avon and Somerset Police as a result of the probe at the plush £250,000 pad.

The English force launched the initial missing person appeal and it was thought the mum had travelled to Dundee.

Locals reacted with shock. One said: “I knew of the people who live there, but they keep themselves to themselves.”

Another added: “It’s quite an affluent area. This is really shocking.”

People who live there? Plural. I was under the impression he lived there alone until Bennylyn joined him. Very interesting.

Car has also been removed from the property

Will he be named once they charge him?

Will he be named once they charge him?

You would think so!

I can only see some of the comments (not a FBer either) but the gist seems to be 1 child survivor. I stress these are just comments, not confirmed at all.

 

[JerricaBenton]

Possibly a 7 year old survivor. We will know for sure when charges are made.

Very worrying. Why only Bennylyn and the younger child, if true?

Moo

Seems spot on from what I've read on SM

It actually sounds more sinister than I originally thought...

Also from that link (bbm) -
Detective Superintendent Graeme Mackie, of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team, said: “We are now treating the disappearances as a murder investigation and I would urge anyone with any information to please come forward and speak to us.

Dear lord

Check under the newly laid (supposedly) concrete floor.

Awful

He has been charged according to the latest Tayside police post on fb.

Update regarding Dundee inquiry

The disappearances of 25-year-old Bennylyn Burke and her two-year-old daughter are now being treated as a murder investigation.

Officers in Dundee attended a property on Troon Avenue around 3.20pm on Friday, 5 March, 2021, as part of an enquiry into the disappearance of Bennylyn and two children who had been reported missing from South Gloucestershire on Monday, 1 March, 2021.

A 50-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the deaths of Bennylyn and her daughter Jellica and enquiries are continuing to establish their whereabouts.

The arrested man is expected to appear at Dundee Sheriff Court on Monday, 8 March, 2021.

The second child reported missing has been traced and is being supported.

Detective Superintendent Graeme Mackie, of Police Scotland’s Major Investigation Team, said: “We are now treating the disappearances as a murder investigation and I would urge anyone with any information to please come forward and speak to us.

“This is a complex enquiry involving both local officers in Dundee and specialist resources from across Police Scotland.

“Bennylyn’s next of kin have been updated on the arrest and are being supported by colleagues from Avon and Somerset Police.

“Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this very difficult time.

“There will be an increased police presence in the area for a considerable period of time and I would like to thank the local community for their cooperation.

“Anyone with concerns or information can speak to a local officer or call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident 1434 of 5 March, 2021.”

I suspect she's not from the UK originally, because the name Bennylyn is too similar to the cough syrup Benylin for a British-based parent to choose. So she may well have come to the UK on a spouse visa with an older husband.

I have an unusual/hard to pronounce(for idiots) ****lyn name and get called Benylin by quite a few people so when I saw bennylyn I was instantly intrigued.

how the heck did she end up in dundee? My aunt lives close by, wonder if she knows what's going on.
