Family devastated after crossbow attack - John Hunt
BBC ^ | July 13 | BBC

Posted on 07/13/2024 4:24:00 AM PDT by RandFan

The BBC's John Hunt and daughter Amy say their devastation "cannot be put into words" after a crossbow attack that killed three of their family members.

Carol Hunt, 61, Hannah Hunt, 28, and Louise Hunt, 25, died at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on Tuesday evening.

Kyle Clifford, 26, from Enfield in north London, was arrested on Thursday evening on suspicion of three counts of murder.

Racing commentator Mr Hunt, along with his other daughter Amy, released a statement saying the devastation they were experiencing "cannot be put into words".

“We would like to thank people for their kind messages and for the support we have received in recent days," they added.

"These have provided great comfort to us for which we are very grateful."

They added they would need space to come to terms with what had happened and "start the grieving process".

"While this is happening, we would ask that our privacy and that of our wider family and relations be respected at this time. Thank you."

There are reports that the victims got two calls out while this was going on.

If those reports are true, what did LE know and when did it know it.

And what did it do...

“who were bound and gagged”

I’ve read a dozen articles and not one mentions they were bound. Where did you get that info?

I have a small pistol size crossbow, amazing power great for small critters like squirrels and chipmunks, also fun.

I haven’t read anything other than this about the murders so have a question or two. The two murdered daughters look middle eastern, so were they the man’s step children? Did the suspect have help dealing with 3 victims? Is Hunt famous or something since his name seems to be in all the headlines which seems a slight on the victims?

Much as I suspected. The two daughters also appear to have middle eastern ancestors but not the other daughter.

How sad. I have to wonder if the killer personally knew all or one of the victims and if the motive was close to home.

Thanks for that information. I thought it might be such a scenario.

I wonder if the suspect attempted to kill himself. From a related article:

Kyle Clifford, 26, from Enfield in north London, was arrested on Thursday evening on suspicion of three counts of murder.

He was found wounded in a cemetery in Enfield on Wednesday and remained in hospital in a serious condition, police said.

If you can’t buy a g**, there’s always cross-bows.
