A triple murder in Hertfordshire has left England in shock as the wife and daughters of BBC commentator John Hunt were killed with a crossbow. The suspect, Kyle Clifford, has been apprehended.

A triple murder has sent shockwaves through England, as the wife and two daughters of BBC racing commentator John Hunt were brutally killed with a crossbow in their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire. The incident occurred on the evening of July 9th, leaving the local community and the nation in deep mourning.

The victims, aged 25, 28, and 62, were found seriously injured by emergency services but succumbed to their injuries at the scene. British media reported that the women must have screamed desperately for help before being attacked while tied up. The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Kyle Clifford, was apprehended by police less than 24 hours later in Enfield, North London, after an extensive manhunt.

Clifford, who is believed to be the ex-boyfriend of one of the daughters, Louise, was found injured in a cemetery and is currently receiving medical treatment. He is expected to be charged with the murders of Carol Hunt, 61, and her daughters, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25. Police have confirmed that they are not looking for any other suspects in connection with the incident.

The investigation has revealed harrowing details of the crime. Carol Hunt was found with a crossbow arrow in her chest, while evidence suggested the other two victims were also shot. The women were not bound when found, but there were signs of tying around their wrists and faces, indicating they were held hostage for hours. All victims had knee injuries, and one had managed to send a message to her partner, urging him to call the police.

The incident has deeply affected the BBC community, with a tribute to John Hunt aired during the broadcast of the England team's Euro 2024 semi-final game. Mark Chapman, a fellow BBC broadcaster, opened the broadcast with heartfelt words, expressing the collective grief and support of the BBC team for Hunt and his family.

Hertfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Ash-Edwards described the incident as sending 'shockwaves through the local community and across Hertfordshire.' The police have urged the public to respect the family's privacy as they cope with their sudden loss.
