Innes stands accused at the High Court in Edinburgh of murdering Bennylyn Burke and her daughter, Jellica, two, at a house in Dundee between February 20 and March 5 2021.
A girl who was in the house where a woman and her daughter were killed said accused Andrew Innes hit the 25-year-old mother in the head with a hammer.
The court also heard from Pc Gavin Burns, who was sent to the house in Troon Avenue after Ms Burke and Jellica had been reported missing and a car linked to the case had been linked to the address. Pc Burns, speaking via a remote link, said Innes told him: “I killed her . She’s under the floor. We got into a fight and I killed her.”
Giving evidence, Jellica’s father, Lexington Burke, 65, said he met Ms Burke, originally from the Philippines, online in 2015 and they were married in 2018. The court heard the relationship broke down, and custody arrangements were put in place.“My concerns had reached the point of extreme concern. I thought the proper thing to do was seek police assistance,” he said, and added he felt it was out of character for Ms Burke.
