However, the potential hitman reported Andrew Burke to the police for the request and agreed to cooperate as a confidential informant and wore a wire.
On September 21, a Fort Bend County jury handed down a life sentence to Andrew Christopher Burke, 36, of Massachusetts. Burke was found guilty of Solicitation to Commit Capital Murder, following a trial that revealed his attempt to orchestrate a murder-for-hire plot in 2022.
According to Chief Special Crimes Prosecutor Mark Hanna, in June 2022, Burke approached an individual, seeking their assistance in carrying out the heinous act of killing his landlord. However, the potential hitman reported Burke to the police for the request and agreed to cooperate as a confidential informant.
During these recorded interactions, Burke reportedly promised to pay the informant for carrying out the murder and subsequently resorted to threats of torture if the act wasn't completed. Additionally, Burke provided the informant with a gun intended for use in the planned murder. Burke's troubles didn't end there. While in custody and awaiting trial, he reportedly committed assaults against jail guards and staff, further escalating the gravity of his offenses.
