Kyle Clifford: Police recover crossbow as triple murder suspect remains in 'serious condition'

A crossbow has been seized following the tragic deaths of three relatives of BBC racing commentator John Hunt. Kyle Clifford, 26, suspected of triple murder, is currently in a critical condition in hospital after being discovered with injuries in Enfield's Hilly Fields area on Wednesday, as confirmed by Hertfordshire Police.

John Hunt's wife, Carol Hunt, 61, and their daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were found with fatal injuries at their home in Ashlyn Close, Bushey, Hertfordshire, shortly after 7pm on Tuesday. The police have yet to interview Clifford regarding the incident.

Investigations into any prior incidents involving Clifford or the deceased have not revealed any previous reports, police stated.

Detective Superintendent Rob Hall of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: "Our thoughts remain with the victims' family and loved ones at this devastating and indescribable time. They are being supported by specially trained officers."

He added: "This was an unprecedented attack and we are determined to understand the full circumstances of what happened that evening and the events leading up to it. This investigation, as I'm sure people can imagine, will take time.

"I'd like to reiterate my sincere thanks to the members of public who contacted us yesterday and helped with our inquiries.

"We are still appealing for anyone with information in relation to the incident on Tuesday evening in Bushey and activity in Enfield yesterday that could assist us to please contact police directly."
