Moment evil axe murderer leads police to exact spot where he buried his ex girlfriend after 'picnic' date

Disturbing video footage released by the police shows evil Andrew Burfield guiding investigators to the woodland area where he buried his ex girlfriend after brutally murdering her with an axe. The 51-year-old killer, from Burnley, has received a life sentence with a minimum term of 32 years for the murder of Katie Kenyon.

Mum-of-two Katie was last seen on April 22 getting into a van in Padiham after she had sent worried family members obscure text messages which told them she had "gone away to work on herself". After a massive police search, the 33 year old's body was found a week later on April 29 inside a shallow grave in the Forest of Bowland, the Daily Star reports.

Burfield, who was later arrested on suspicion of murder, told police that he had taken Katie out to the woods for a picnic together. During that time, he lied that she had dared him to hit a can of Coca-Cola out of her hand with an axe he was using to chop wood and that he had thrown the axe at a tree but it bounced off it and fatally struck Katie in the back of the head.
