Kyle Clifford, 26, has been charged with the murder of Carol Hunt, wife of BBC racing commentator John Hunt, and their two daughters, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, in a brutal crossbow attack that took place on July 9 in Bushey, Hertfordshire.
Carol Hunt, 61, and her two daughters were found fatally injured at their family home following the attack. Clifford, of Rendlesham Road, Enfield, was arrested on July 10 but was previously unable to be questioned by police as he was receiving treatment in hospital for injuries.
Clifford was formally charged on September 16 with three counts of murder, false imprisonment, and two counts of possession of offensive weapons. He is set to appear remotely at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today, September 17, at 10am.
Detective Chief Inspector Nick Gardner of Hertfordshire Constabulary stated, “Our thoughts remain with the Hunt family and their loved ones as they continue to come to terms with their loss. Over the past couple of months, we have been working hard to gather as much evidence as possible and establish the full circumstances of what happened that day.
“We have now managed to secure charges against Kyle Clifford in connection with the murders of Carol, Hannah, and Louise Hunt. Although it has taken some time to reach this stage, we can now move forward with the judicial process and seek justice for their family.”
Clifford has been remanded into custody, and the investigation continues as authorities seek to uncover the full details of the horrifying attack.
