A 26-year-old man, Kyle Clifford, appeared in a London court on Tuesday, charged with the killings of Carol Hunt and her daughters, Hannah and Louise, in July. The victims, aged 61, 28, and 25, respectively, were the family members of John Hunt, a well-known sports broadcaster. The murders, which occurred in Bushey just north of London on July 9, involved a crossbow and a knife.
Prosecutor David Burns revealed that police were alerted by a distressed call from Hannah Hunt, who stated that she, her mother, and her sister had been attacked and feared they would die. Upon arrival, officers discovered the mother stabbed and her daughters shot with a crossbow. Clifford faces additional charges of possessing offensive weapons and false imprisonment; he allegedly tied Louise Hunt to a chair.
Following a significant search operation, Clifford was eventually apprehended and hospitalized with an injury, delaying police interviews. Detective Chief Inspector Nick Gardner said, "We can now move forward with the judicial process and seek justice for their family." John Hunt and daughter Amy have said "the devastation we are experiencing cannot be put into words."
