Did the killer have a semi-auto crossbow? If not, how long does it take to reload? I’m not being facetious. I’m just saying I’d be doing something during the reloading interval.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced the government would look at the legislation around crossbows following “this awful incident”.
A 2nd amendment wouldn’t go amiss I feel but gun ownership is such an alien concept in the UK I doubt it will happen

It was a mom and adult daughters who were bound and gagged. Why one of them was not able to call for help while he was binding another is not known. He was the crazy ex of one of the daughters. There is a surviving daughter who lived elsewhere. Obviously the perp is deranged and a cold blooded killer who the daughter had the bad luck to be involved with.
Crossbows depending on type can be a real bitch to reload. Some newer types have become easier but still it takes enough time between shots for someone to escape. I would speculate that these women were tied up and then shot.
I was thinking the same. Also three shots, three kills. Pretty good. So he was fast and good and highly motivated.
‘Gotta be more to this one.
Depends on the draw weight. I have one that shoots 400fps with a 200# draw weight that I use string pulleys to recock and to set the string hooks and pull back and add aroow bolt Icould do it quickly in 10 seconds. I also have one that shoots 305fps with a 150# draw weight and 0% letoff that I can pull back by hand and reload in under 5 seconds. Either speed with a properly equipped broadhead will take out a whitetail buck with placement to the boiler room (heart lungs liver).
Yeah, why didn’t the victims just shoot the guy?
Oh, that’s right, there are no citizens in Britain, just “subjects of the Crown.” Tolerate oppressive laws, die like dogs.
