The sister of Bennylyn Burke has spoken of the chilling messages and video call she shared with evil killer Andrew Innes, and how she even encouraged her sibling to go to Dundee.
Shela Aquino said her sister “took pity” on the man after he made the long journey south, and was “curious” about Scotland. In an interview with the BBC, Shela added: “I told her to give it a try, that perhaps she will be happy this time.”
The pair had been in consistent contact since Bennylyn had left the Philippines in 2019 and spoke every day, despite an eight-hour time difference. During a video chat in the car as Bennylyn travelled to Dundee, Shela asked her sister if she could see “the foreigner”.
She said: “So she showed me the guy - I had the chance to greet him. I said: ‘Hello sir’.
“They were already on the road. We started chatting, I even joked with him.”
The man in the driver's seat was Innes, whom Bennylyn had met on a dating website just weeks before. She told her sister she was travelling with Innes, as well as Jellica, to Scotland to spend the weekend.
During the conversation on camera, Innes told Shela that he previously lived in Japan with his wife and their children, but was deported in 2019 after the marriage broke down.
He had joined 34 dating sites, including one called Filipino Cupid where he met Bennylyn, who had also registered to seek companionship.
It was later discovered by officers that Innes had compiled a spreadsheet of data he had taken from the site. It gave grades to women which featured details such as their age, height, weight, and if they had children.
The women he gave “top scores” were in their mid to late 20s with young children. This is how he came across Bennylyn.
