A tragic series of events unfolded in Bushey, Hertfordshire, where three women were fatally shot with a crossbow. The suspect, 26-year-old Kyle Clifford, arrested in connection with the deaths, has not yet been interrogated due to paralysis caused by a self-inflicted crossbow injury.
The incident occurred on July 9, claiming the lives of 61-year-old Carol Hunt, wife of BBC 5 Live commentator John Hunt, and their daughters, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25. The attack took place in their family home located in the quiet Ashlyn Close cul-de-sac.
Following the attack, Clifford inflicted a severe injury upon himself, resulting in paralysis. Found unconscious in a cemetery near his home in Enfield, Clifford’s medical condition has delayed police questioning, as the custody timeline does not begin until after interrogation.
Carol and her daughters were allegedly held captive in their home by Clifford, reportedly the ex-boyfriend of Louise Hunt. During the ordeal, Louise managed to text her current boyfriend, who promptly alerted the authorities.
The loss has left the Hunt family devastated, with John Hunt expressing profound grief and gratitude for the support received from the community. In a heartfelt statement, he praised his surviving daughter Amy for her strength and resilience during this harrowing time.
The investigation, led by Hertfordshire’s Major Crime Unit, continues as they delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding this appalling crime.
