**What they're saying:** Detective Superintendent Nicola Wallace called it a "completely senseless loss of life" and described Burnett as "a violent coward who murdered a defenceless woman in front of her friends and members of the public in broad daylight."

Courtney Mitchell was described by her family as a "beautiful daughter, granddaughter, mummy and sister" (Suffolk Constabulary)

**What's next:** Burnett has been remanded in custody and will be sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on Monday 17 February 2025.

**The bottom line:** While Burnett's guilty plea spares Mitchell's family the trauma of a trial, police say the pain caused by his actions "will live with them for ever."
