Andrew killed Jellica as we were playing hide and seek

Suspect also accused of child rape paid £2.10 each for 'job', court told

A DOUBLE murder accused killed a little girl during a game of hide and seek, a court heard yesterday. 

A young witness said she “should have saved” Benny Lynn Burke, 25, and her two-year-old daughter Jellica but could not because she did not know what was happening.

Andrew Innes is accused of murdering the pair at a house in Dundee between February 20 and March 5, 2021.

The 52-year-old has admitted the killings but denies murdering them and has lodged a special defence of diminished responsibility.

The High Court in Edinburgh was played an interview with a seven year-old girl, who was in the house at the time of the attacks.
