Crossbow murder suspect Kyle Clifford's brother jailed for life for killing teen

The man alleged to have killed three women also has a brother serving life in prison for murdering a teenager, it has emerged.

Kyle Clifford, 26, was located by cops last night after a huge manhunt over the suspected triple murder at a home in Bushey, Hertfordshire. The victims have been identified as Carol Hunt, 61, Hannah Hunt, 28, and Louise Hunt, 25, the wife and daughters of BBC Five Live racing commentator John Hunt, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Clifford was found in the Enfield area of north London and is now receiving treatment for his injuries, Hertfordshire Police said. Officers previously said they believe it was a "targeted incident" and urged members of the public not to approach Clifford if they see him.

Kyle Clifford is understood to be the ex-boyfriend of one of the victims, Louise Hunt. The BBC had reported Kyle Clifford left the British Army after a brief period of service in 2022, and the Ministry of Defence confirmed on Wednesday he served briefly in the Armed Forces.

A Whitehall source said: "He didn't serve very long and he is no longer a serving member of the armed forces. We're not going to speculate which regiment or unit he was in, but look at his age. He didn't serve very long."

It has also been revealed his brother, Bradley Clifford, is currently serving a life sentence over the murder of a moped driver. While driving his Ford Mustang Bradley pursued and collided with Soban Khan, 18, and Jahshua Francis, 19, after they hit his car with a bottle, the Old Bailey heard in 2018.

Both victims were thrown into flung into the air by the crash, and Bradley Clifford then beat moped rider Mr Khan as he lay on the ground. Mr Khan later died, and a post-mortem gave his cause of death as multiple injuries.

During the trial, the jury was told how Bradley Clifford became "enraged" when his Mustang EcoBoost's wing mirror was broken, beginning a "rapid, brutal and unrelenting" chase through the streets of Enfield in north London.

Jahshua Francis, 19, was found injured near the scene and was rushed to hospital in ambulance, but he recovered from his injuries.

Bradley Clifford was found guilty of murder and attempted GBH with intent and was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 23 years for the murder of Mr Khan. He was also slapped with seven years for the attack on Mr Francis.
