Katie Kenyon killer sentenced to life in prison

A man who claimed he had accidentally killed his ex-girlfriend when throwing an axe has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 32 years for her murder.

Andrew Burfield, 51, killed and buried 33-year-old Katie Kenyon in the Forest of Bowland on April 22.

Her body was found a week later when he revealed its location to police.

Burfield, of Todmorden Road, Burnley, initially denied murder and told officers he had accidentally killed Miss Kenyon, from Padiham, when he threw an axe after she bet him he could not hit a can of Coke with it.

Burfield changed his plea to guilty on the third day of his trial at Preston Crown Court.
