After repeated denials in police interviews, Andrew Burfield eventually admitted to killing 33-year-old Katie
A review of the 32-year jail term handed down to the murderer of Lancashire mum Katie Kenyon has found the sentence was not unduly lenient.
Burfield, of Todmorden Road, Burnley, was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 32 years after Mr Justice Goose warned him that he might never be released from prison. Burfield was told he is a "highly dangerous man" who had offered limited mitigation. In late November, Burfield's sentence was referred to the Attorney General under the unduly lenient sentence scheme. The scheme allows individuals to request that a sentence is reviewed if they deem it to be lenient.
“After careful consideration the Solicitor General has concluded that this case cannot properly be referred to the Court of Appeal. A referral under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme to the Court of Appeal can only be made if a sentence is not just lenient but unduly so, such that the sentencing judge made a gross error or imposed a sentence outside the range of sentences reasonably available in the circumstances of the offence.
