- A mother and two daughters murdered in an apparent crossbow attack at their home in England are believed to have been tied up before they were killed.
Carol Hunt (61) and her daughters Louise (25) and Hannah (28) were discovered at their home in Hertfordshire on Tuesday night.
They are the wife and daughters of BBC racing commentator John Hunt.
The suspect is 26-year-old Kyle Clifford - the ex-boyfriend of Louise Hunt.
Police were called to the house just before 7pm on Tuesday.
According to Hertfordshire Constabulary: "Sadly, despite their best efforts, the women, who are believed to be related, died a short time later at the scene."
Throughout Wednesday, police carried out a major manhunt for Kyle Clifford, who was found in a nearby cemetery at around 6pm.
Police said he was injured but added that no shots were fired by officers.
London-based journalist Vincent McAvinney told Newstalk Breakfast Kyle Clifford was known to the family.
"What we understand happened was that these three [people] were found at their home in Hertfordshire, which is north of London, on Tuesday evening," he said.
"They had been shot by a crossbow, allegedly by Louise Hunt's ex-boyfriend Kyle Clifford.
"There are signs that they had been tied up; ligature marks have been found on them.
"The emergency services swung into action... but sadly all three appear to have died at their home".
Mr McAvinney said a "huge manhunt" was launched to find Kyle Clifford after the attack.
"He had spent some time in the army, we understand, and he was said to be armed and dangerous," he said.
"Yesterday afternoon he was discovered in a graveyard in Enfield - east of Hertfordshire - when police went in to search for him.
"He was stretchered away injured - not injured by the police - supposedly having injured himself at some point".
Mr McAvinney said Mr Hunt is "a very familiar voice" on the BBC for the last 20 years.
"You heard in the voices last night of fellow BBC 5 Live presenters, who had to go on-air to cover the England match, the shock of it all," he said.
"They spoke about it right at the top of their broadcast".
Mr McAvinney said changes to legislation in Britain will likely be forthcoming.
"It is not illegal in the UK to buy, sell, hire or possess a crossbow if you are over 18 years of age," he said.
"There's questions as to why you don't even need a licence to own one as is required with a gun.
"I think that law will likely now need to be re-examined".
Mr McAvinney added that Kyle Clifford is currently being treated in hospital and has yet to be charged.
Mr Clifford's older brother Bradley Clifford (30) is serving a life sentence for murdering a teenager in 2017.

This country is in a mess right now violent crime is going on everywhere
Ireland is in some state these clowns can tell about crimes in England but they can't tell you they names of the children that was cut up by a foreign scumbag in dublin or tell the irish people his name
Pretty shocking is an understatement. Horrific is the word you're looking for.
He didn't look British...
@orionxtc1119
Well he is. Kyle Clifford pretty British sounding too
Why bring race into it other than to stir yet more racial division?!?
@@orionxtc1119 Moroccan real name Ishmail Hussein
@@FrankskinOrweed-ep4ij Exactly...
🙏🙏🙏🙏 for the poor husband and dad can't imagine what he must be going through!! RIP sweethearts 🥲😞
And the surviving sister. It's just unspeakable, unbearable
The crossbow coward.
He was kicked out of the Army after just a few months. His brother is serving 20 years in prison for a similar murder.
Why was he kicked out?
His evil, i feel for the medical staff trying to keep this monster alive and having to put their personal feelings aside and do their job. My deepest sympathy for the family of the 3 ladies, rest in peace. Heartbreaking 💔.
Horrifying.
" pretty shocking" . It's a lot worse than that!
@@RockDove5212 Indeed it is!
Rip ❤ feeling for the man left with out family

@@Caohasisnsga may they gain comfort from each other. So very sorry for them
MONSTER 😡😡😡
Communities everywhere are no longer safe!!!😮😮

@@faithnaidoo7647 never have been stretching back decades
@@Scott-up3bqNot true, simply just incorrect!
So they want to ban crossbows and they want to let criminals out of prison early,
Is it worth letting random people own them just because they are cool
@@DisconnectedRoamer It’s worth not restricting thousands of responsible owners because of sporadic incidents. Can’t wrap society in cotton wool because violent people exist.
Rest in peace so sorry you were all put through such a unimaginable horrific evil act
Thoughts and heartfelt condolences with your friends and family 🙏
Every woman is in danger in these bad times
Even more so from muslim immigrants
It is worse for men. Men are more likely to be victims of homicide attacks.
TIED UP Awful
Rest in peace 🙏🏻 so sad xx
Oh my GOD WHEN IS THE VIOLENCE TO WOMEN GOING TO STOP IT IS GETING WORSE ❤❤❤❤THE ARMY MEN AGAIN OH MY GOD ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
