Samurai killer who buried mum and girl gets 36 years

Andrew Innes, 52, lured Bennylyn Burke, 25, and daughter Jellica to his house after meeting the mum on a dating website.

He battered 4ft 6in Bennylyn around the head with a hammer and stabbed her with a Samurai sword.

Days later he smothered her daughter after abusing her.

Innes put their bodies in rubble bags and concealed them in concrete beneath the kitchen floor.

He also spent days raping and abusing a girl of seven and casually told police she might have died if they had arrived 24 hours later.

Asked by a PC _ where Bennylyn was, Innes told him: Under the kitchen floor.”
