Dundee mother and toddler killer gives evidence at trial

Andrew Innes admits killing Bennylyn Burke and her two year old daughter Jellica in 2021

Warning – some of the details in this report are distressing.

A man who killed a mother and her toddler in Dundee said he was “apocalyptically angry” as he hit the woman over the back of the head with a hammer.

Andrew Innes said he attacked Bennylyn Burke after thinking “crazy things” because she resembled his wife and a former lover who he said had both betrayed him.

The 52 year old told the court he was insane and never thought about calling the police.
