Killer who drove ex-girlfriend to her own grave could get longer sentence

A murderer who told his ex-girlfriend they were going for a picnic but drove her to her own grave could get a longer sentence.

Andrew Burfield killed Katie Kenyon by repeatedly hitting over the head with an axe. He then covered her body in a grave he had pre-prepared and sent text messages to her children to pretend she was still alive, reports LancsLive.

Katie's family first became suspicious of Burfield when they received texts with poor grammar and spelling. Burfield repeatedly denied he killed Katie, who he had been in a relationship with, in police interviews, but eventually confessed to the murder.
