A man has appeared in court accused of the murder of missing mum Katie Kenyon.
Andrew Burfield appeared at Blackburn Magistrates' Court today (April 28) charged with her murder. The 50-year-old, of Todmorden Road, Burnley, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the three-minute hearing.
Wearing a grey sweatshirt and jogging bottoms, Burfield, flanked by three prison officers, was told his murder charge could only be dealt with at a higher court and he was remanded into custody until Friday.

Gill Smith, chairwoman of the bench, told him: “You will be remanded into custody until tomorrow where you will appear at Preston Crown Court.”
Katie, 33, vanished last Friday after being seen getting into a van in Burnley. She was last seen at around 9.30am when it was thought she travelled in the Ford Transit van which left the town towards the Bolton-by-Bowland area of Lancashire.
On Wednesday, police carried out searches in Gisburn Forest, a remote beauty spot in east Lancashire. More than 60 specialist search officers from four police forces scoured the area of dense forest looking for Katie. The hunt involved police and fire service officers, dog teams, mounted police, mountain rescue volunteers and drones.
Katie, from Padiham, Burnley, is described as white, 5ft 9in, with shoulder-length strawberry blonde/ginger hair. She was last seen wearing a blue shirt or jacket and white vest top, black leggings and flip flops.
Her family - who said her disappearance is out of character - are being supported by specially trained officers.
