It has been revealed that Kyle Clifford is the main suspect in the tragic deaths of Carol Hunt, the wife of BBC racing expert John Hunt, and their two daughters, Hannah and Louise Hunt. The horrific incident, described as "unprecedented," involved the use of a crossbow and suggests that the victims may have been held captive for several hours before they were killed.
The victims, Carol Hunt, 61, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were found tied up and executed at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire on Tuesday. Currently, investigators are waiting to question Clifford, who is in a serious condition at a hospital in London after inflicting injuries upon himself. It is believed that Clifford, 26, underwent emergency surgery for a chest wound and is now under police guard.
John Hunt, a respected BBC racing commentator, and his wife Carol were known to be the parents of Louise Hunt, who was in a relationship with Clifford. The family's quiet neighborhood was disturbed by the arrival of a black-clad figure on Tuesday afternoon, who was seen carrying a bag and parking near an alleyway leading to the Hunt's home. It is suspected that the figure may have spent up to seven hours in the area before the killings took place.
The investigation is ongoing, with authorities speaking to neighbors and examining doorbell camera footage in an attempt to piece together the events leading up to the attack. The footage shows the suspect arriving and leaving the scene, with the latter sighting showing him carrying a large object, believed to be a crossbow, under a sheet. Police have since recovered a crossbow as part of their investigation.
Detective Superintendent Rob Hall, who is leading the investigation, provided an update on the case, stating that it was an "unprecedented attack" and that they are determined to understand what exactly happened. He also mentioned that the investigation would take time and urged anyone with information to come forward.
During the manhunt for Clifford, who left the Army in 2022 after a brief stint, authorities warned the public about his possible possession of a crossbow and advised them not to approach him. They also revealed that he was known to the victims. In connection to the case, police searched a house linked to Clifford's brother, Bradley Clifford, who was previously convicted of murder.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is now considering stricter laws regarding the ownership and use of crossbows in light of this tragedy. The findings of a Home Office review conducted earlier this year will be taken into account. Meanwhile, the community remains in shock and mourning over the loss of Carol, Hannah, and Louise Hunt, and authorities continue to work tirelessly in their pursuit of justice.
