- “My heart goes out to John Hunt and all his close family.”
The family of BBC racing commentator John Hunt was “shattered in the most horrendous circumstances” after his wife Carol, and their daughters Hannah and Louise were killed at their home in Bushey.
Fellow racing commentator Rupert Bell, who has known John Hunt for 30 years, says his “heart bleeds” for the family.

I genuinely feel sorry for John Hunt and his family. What happened is completely incomprehensible. My heart goes out to John.
How do you get over this senseless crime, and I feel for daughter and dad left behind
You don't. You bear it until your dying day. I know. I'm so sorry.X
Both sisters were murdered along with their mother.
He had three children
@julienewman1761 shhhh. Don't type words on the Internet without knowing yhe facts. He had 3 children.
My name jeff
A terrible tragedy all because of a jealous selfish little man. RIP.
My thoughts are with this poor father and daughter, somebody surround these people with love!!!
His brother is in jail.
A pair of wrongens.
Rest in peace to the two young women and their mother.
It tells you all you need to know about their family. What are the chances of both sons growing up to become that? It’s very telling.
@@_.-_Crimpy-_..-.and about their families culture
" wrong'un " abbreviation for wrong one
yes, a pair of wronggenes
@@_.-_Crimpy-_..-. science had discovered a 'warrior' gene. Maybe we should test for it in all of us.
The fact that both bros are killers shows that it's genetic and runs in the fam
Personally feel it’s irrelevant to be talking about the husbands career. Regardless of whom he is, this is a huge tragedy and his wife and two daughters have been the victims of a serious crime. Surely, this should be the focus. I feel more heartache for him as a man who’s lost his family than what he does and his personality type. It’s tragic. Please let’s not make this about people’s accolades and achievements, but about the victims who suffered horribly and the trauma that the husband and his daughter will now have to live with.
Absolutely thank you.talking about the Olympics and commentating.absurd.man might not work again
This comment you made is the best comment made.sometimes common sense should prevail.well said.
Agree too much about his career!! Terribly sad!!
His brother killed a guy for damaging a car. Insanity was bred in.
It really feels like they both have anger and sadistic issues
@@fc4660- are both of them in a gang situation. Is he still alive? and did he rob them after killing them? I think he needed money
It could be that they grew up in a very violent & dysfunctional family...
@@user-ju6ud4go6b No, this was personal. I think they mentioned he had been in a relationship with one of the girls. Prob got dumped or (he thought) cheated on, or smth.
The youngest daughter split up from the evil man just last week. The mother was very concerned because, well, he was very controlling 😢
Usual sick suspect
Instead of falling for you’re instinctive racism
Learn the facts about fake story’s
💯
Pure evil
So sad. Poor man, deepest condolences. 😢
Awful, I can't begin imagine what John Hunt and his surviving daughter are going through.
The details emerging surrounding this dreadful incident are horrifying.
More needs to be done to protect women from violence. Heartfelt condolences.
Sorry but more men, a lot more men are victims of male violence.
Lost his whole family at once. Horrifying. Life in prisonment should be the bare minimum .
Won’t ever get out and will be in solitary confinement for the rest of his life facts
We need to reinstate the death penalty.
I've said that myself, but what's the reason he did.
@@user-ld8nu7rt6g He was dumped.
The death penalty that empirically does not work, sure
OHHHH YESSS..!
agreed, compassion for the victims, not the monsters who carry out heinous crimes
I've gone my whole life without hearing about any 'suspected' crossbow attacks and now there's been 3 in the last year. Strange times.
You didn't hear about the crossbow cannibal in Bradford?
yea it's because they want to ban crossbows or require us to have a license for one.
@@romeowhiskey2759as they should. Grown adults don’t need silly toys which also happen to be lethal.
@@Jupa no they shouldn't, they're not toys.
@@romeowhiskey2759 dont throw a tantrum
What he has done is incomprehensible, what now he will pretend too be mental and sit in a nice comfortable hospital. This poor family.
Uhm, the guy probably has a long history of mental ilness. Instead of demeaning the mentally ill, maybe if your society paid more attention to healing these people LONG BEFORE THEY COMMIT MURDERS, this could have been avoided. Either way, this is a horrendous incident and just breaks a person's heart.
@@TheRealEtaoinShrdlu He’s not mental he just couldn’t get his own way, the girl finished with and he couldn’t except it. So he thought I cannot have her , so no one else will. Open your eyes.
@@TheRealEtaoinShrdluKyle is not mentally ill he’s gonna try and abuse mental illness and claim he’s unwell when he isn’t - he’s just a deluded, very small man of extreme insignificance. All the good will, therapy and help in the world can’t change people who are just evil sadly. Mental illness doesn’t mean evil - he’s just pure evil.
@@TheRealEtaoinShrdlu YOU NEED MEDICAL HELP
He should be labelled a serial killer and not crossbow killer? Why do I somehow feel the media are making light of this evil creature?
He is a mass killer. Serial killings occur over a longer time period.
That's not what a serial killer is though 🤔
I don’t think you understand the term serial killer, nothing to do with the media making light of anything
Serial killer ???? Google that term.
The media is demonising the xbow and not the savage murderer
Dear John, accept my deepest sympathy and condolences because I knew your dear wife Carol and her sister Julie as young girls growing up to womanhood. When this tragic news broke out I had no idea this incident came so close to home, a matter which has left me deeply shocked.
My condolences John and your daughter God is still in control we know what you are going through but we believe you will heal in God's time.
Shattered lives..... i cannot comprehend how they will cope
So sorry for their family and friends. Condolences from Australia😢
Four murders, two brothers ! They are both obviously abusive and the families they destroyed.
What a couple of pathetic men they are
This haircut should have alarmed people already. Honestly guy does not look well at all, sadistic look
Heartbreaking...welcome to broken Britain where punishment no longer fits the crime. Labour will allow him out on the streets within ten, fifteen years.
Implying that there was a time when the punishment did fit the crime is an interesting take.
And all his human rights, criminals are well looked after, more so than victims in the UK
Politicising a horrendous tragedy, speaks volumes, now you've lowered the tone let's get to it, how about 14 years of massive underfunding of the police the courts and probation services by your conservative government !
The perfect epitome of ignorance !
Isn’t there still life without parole sentencing there ?
FAMILY MASACRE
R.I.P❤
Godbless John, and his daughter it's beyond belief🙏
It’s horrendous, my heart goes out to their family and friends 😞
@samanthapage2892.
Sure, your heart goes out; you just want to sound like a saint.
Christ, get a grip at least she's got empathy, 3 Women dead no fault of their own and your jumping on a comment showing some feels. 🤡@@redblade8160
Ignore the Utter 🔔End below. It's a miserable, barley mediocre excuse for a human. I'm with you, it's sickening what happened to those Women. And the tool who replied has nothing of value to add which is why he felt the need to validate himself by jumping on an innocent person in the comments. I hope you have a great day!
Any weapon of any sort should be banned right now
this includes vaccines for a scam and alcohol
Extreme domestic violence. 186 women murdered but their partner/ex partner between 2020 and 2022
Please talk about the victims, use their names. They are not defined by being someone's wife or someone's daughter. We don't need to know about the husband. TALK ABOUT THE VICTIMS

Another extremely Odd story again
How so?
This isn't odd to you?
@@SituationRelaxation108 yeah its odd im just interested in others thoughts thats all
Yeah this was in Dutch new yesterday as well. Brought tears to my eyes. What an absolute despicable crime, man. Bless their souls.
Yes, this was evil, and it reminded me of what happened less than one year ago at a Hospital in one of your cities.
Good family, man, beautiful girls, and wife. RIP.
Some crimes really shake you somehow. Sad!!
Very sad, funds are going to Ukraine and isreal and not to our police.
Thoughts with the family and friends of innocent victims of this terrorist attack!
How he killed 3 with crossbow takes 2min reload a shot
Did he ask them to wait maybe?
Apparently he tied them up
No today modern crossbows you can shoot 7 arrows without reloading
Spurned boyfriend?
On the legal front I'm an archer. I shoot traditional American Flat Bows. Essentially bendy stick, pointy stick, string. It takes years to get proficient and is an extremely rewarding hobby. Crossbows in contrast you could most likely learn to shoot in an afternoon. As with all things we would like the freedom to continue our hobby with as little interference as possible, and that's what it is to every archer I've ever met, a hobby. Having said that I do think that with crossbows in particular there should be some controls as they seem to be being used as an easy access weapon by some idiots. Both of my bows have unique serial numbers as I believe do all bows. I'd like people to understand that archery in general is a gentle hobby and the people I've met at proper archery clubs have been responsible, careful members of the public who wouldn't dream of hurting a soul.
If it came down to it, for the public good and we had to register our bows I wouldn't have a problem with that. But crossbows definitely need tighter controls, as anyone can buy one and become proficient with it almost immediately, and unlike traditional archers or olympic archers who have to commit hundreds of hours just to become fairly reasonable.
Crossbows in short, can be more easily used for nefarious purposes and seem in some cases to attract those that want a simple to use, "Projectile weapon," rather than hobbyist archers who just love the sport. My heart goes out to this poor family. So sad, so needless.
If it wasnt a cross bow it would of been a knife, cant register those
@@joclifton6712 this is so true, in the end it's how we arrange ourselves as a society that counts. When bad people decide to hurt others they'll always find a way. Take away guns, they use crossbows, take away crossbows they use knives, take away knives they use a brick or a stick or a fist. It's more a case of making certain people realise that violence is not the answer. It really makes me sad this case though, the family must be given room to grieve. ♥️
So, so tragic. When you really try to put yourself in those shoes it feels impossible to understand how you find the energy to go on after something like this.
It also makes me think about how we get overwhelmed and desensitized by similar events of loss around the world. Seeing families destroyed in Gaza, hearing about Uighur Muslims in China, thousands of Ukrainian deaths at Putin's hands and various conflicts around the world where non-combatants are being killed.
Thoughts with the Hunt family and all of those affected.
Their focusing on the farther but not speaking about the women that were killed. They haven't mentioned the killers family 👀 and why did he just go for the women 😕 seems theres alot in tbis story
i was looking for this comment. Obviously he's going through a terrible thing but we don't need a run down of his career and everything just because he's well known and his family weren't. Always far too little is said about the main victims of violent crimes.
My thoughts go out to the victims and their family.. Horrible...
My heart goes out to the family truly..I can't begin to imagine what they are going through..
Why did they let him in or did he break in.
No idea but he was known to them so not a stranger.
Of course his name is Kyle
What a scummy name 😅😂
More to the point, he doesn't look like his name would be kyle.
@psychogoreman198 he's from Enfield, lots of low moral locals interbred with Turks and Kurds and gave birth to smoo-smeds
He's very handsome, beautiful lips.
Has he got a friend called Stan?
The guy was named before he was captured so the simple question is why, why on earth did he do this.
Wait for the whole story......
"suspected crossbow attack" erm? Arent they sadly dead? How is it suspected ...
The media always use the term suspect before the conviction.
Hes the suspect, and he's now draining the NHS....
It means they’re pretty sure the weapon he used was a crossbow but aren’t 100% sure.
they have to say that to cover themselves legally. he hasn't been convicted yet
Because there are 3 dead bodies on the way to the morgue and it's not your job to identify online the weapon he used on them.
Once again evil against good! Poor family! Too much anger in this world! I hope Mr Hunt has plenty of support.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖
Is he Asian or Iranian. Lets find out. I think you need to build 2 new prisons.
Iranians are Asians too
what animal could do such a horrific act
Monster not animal.
A british white guy.. remind me who ian hunt, moira hindley all the biggest serial killers in UK and America are white men
Usual suspect, Turkish Muslim...
Bro just shut up 💀
We need to start getting along and respecting each other and FAST. He’s British.

British?
He's a Turkish Muslim..
@@vincentblack7467 why are you on every comment replying saying he’s a Turkish Muslim? You do realise if he was a Muslim he wouldn’t of had a non Muslim wife… stop liking your own comments you bot and go outside and touch grass… Alhamdulillah for Islam
@@GeneralRaam-0 don't apply logic mate.
These cretins don't know what to do with it.
Certainly not British
The problem is not the weapon
And his brother is a killer too. Their parents have clearly done an excellent job in their upbringing (sarcasm). Smh. I bet those poor women were terrified that day and I can’t imagine what the husband/father is feeling right now. Just awful. 🥺💔
What made him do it. What was in his mind.
His Mom who always told him what a precious thing he was and no woman is worthy of him.

Incomprehensible loss. Beautiful family, I’m so very sorry. No one should have to bear this pain and loss.
It is hard to imagine how his family will recover from this evil crime. I am pleased to hear that he has a third daughter so I hopefully they will be able to help each other through this. Such terrible news and my heart goes out to them.
What is banning crossbows going to do? He could of just used a knife? Seems like another chance for the state to get control over the people to make sure they cant ever use any weapons against them when they decide to do things the public don't like.
and to say on news today they announced they Releasing more prisoners out because prisons are full Why The world is big as plenty of places where they can build prisons
@@janeslater8004 why hotel you sound weird
😢😢 HORRIFYING 😢 sadistically motivated evil bully! Esp 2 leave john hunt! With NOTHING 😢 😭
That's terrible news!..
But I don't like how the news will rinse the story, where they wouldn't keep on if it was a random family...
It is. Horrific. My thoughts with you. John Hunt
So many lives destroyed. 3 innocent people died and so many left with the pain of losing their loved ones in such a horrible way.
Very likely a patsy as it is way too much of a coincidence that just as a crossbow consultation occurs and tighter measure wanted by government despite crossbow attacks being extremely rare. All of a sudden there is a fatal crossbow attack "Cui Bono". My heart does go out to the victims and families involved but it is all too easy now for people to be mind controlled into actions.
Or it's just a coincidence? Coincidences happen all the time, doesn't mean there's a causal relationship. Also do you want crossbows to be legal?
I am lost for words at this devastation ,so sorry for the pain Mr Hunt and remaining daughter will be going through for a long long time .😑🙏🏾
So sad feel for the extended family …. Why ….
What a coward
When these "Johnny's " lose it , they really lose it...😂
I just know that the father will never be the same, This is life changing and sad. Every rejection is a blessing but clearly the boy never learned to move on. billions of humans and you ruin your life and other over 1
Parents must be so proud both sons are killers
Disgusting
This poor family need time, space, privacy and support from those close to them. This is the point where we as a nation need to offer those things as and when they require them. ❤
Trying to ban crossbows 🤮
A crossbow again hmmmm
Did he use a crossbow because guns are banned. Really
guns are not banned, you just need a licence to own one.
Devastating, beyond comprehension… RIP In the arms of the angels now. Sincere condolences to loved ones especially John Hunt and his daughter his their life has been torn apart. 🙏🙏🙏
Did John walk in what happened.
How can someone own a crossbow?
Struggling with this myself. What kind of thinking goes into lawmaking that would allow this weapon to be excluded in a weapons ban.
Not only how but why?
Didn't take long to find a comment like this. How can someone own a bow and arrow? How can someone own a kitchen knife? It'll never end with banning everything, if someone wants someone dead they'll find the means, even if it means breaking a law meant to ban said weapons.
It is totally legal.. There is only restrictions on "having it in public without a good reason"!!!! It's crazy.. Such a devastating weapon.
@@thomaspurdy7456 just because you struggling understand doesn’t mean that someone is not a collector or just use it for target practice or hunting. I would like to own. We shouldn’t get crazy snd ban everything but unfortunately this is England someone would come out and say breathing is dangerous and it will be banned. Also if you think that making it illegal would somehow make it inaccessible for criminals than you live in fantasy land
Wasn’t the kid and daughter involved?? Or was it an attack direct on them two because of what the dad did as a career it doesn’t make sense
He was the ex boyfriend of one of the victims.
@@jasonrollins1385no surprise
Oh gosh, that's just awful, I'm so sorry for John Hunt 😢
It's so sad and May God give their family strength to tolerate this loss.That guy seems very smart. I am shocked how he can do this?What was the reason?
What for the whole story
He will get a whole life order,not that thats going to be any consolation obviously.Was this maniac known to the family!?Did they know his brother was a murderer.?
Why though?
Sum guys just can't handle rejection
It is always very heartbreaking when people have no control of their emotions. The repercussions and trauma are quite tremendous. Condolences to the bereaved. It is troubling for the family of the offender also. Everybody suffers when such things happen. Sad!
Deport !
I know they say dont blame the parents but 2 sons who have murdered ...has to of been something wrong with their upbringing somewhere along the line.
Of course times radio leading the charge for banning crossbows, ye gads you are so predictable. The type of weapon is not the issue so don’t start gaslighting us. The issue here is how many times if any had the family reported Clifford to the police and what response if any did they get. Also, does Clifford mental health issues, a history of violence or anything else relevant? So shut up about the crossbows., if you want a campaign on weapons and violence start by making it mandatory 6 months jail for carrying a knife or machete in public or would that be too upsetting to various groups
horrendous cannot begin to describe. Crazy.
Did the crossbow killer fire three bolts, one for each head, or did he fire one bolt that went through all three heads simultaneously?
It is very sad story,most serious crime and my prayers goes out for the family,
who didn't see this psyop coming...all the 🐑🐑🐑🐑
Foreigners entering the country and then changing their names is what's going to get us all chipped
👍
Foreigners changing their names... uh? You talk as if you know anything about this guy's background... which you don't obviously.
He's born n bread white English
"he's respected by all and sundry"
Uhm, I have never heard of the guy. But jeez, about as much sympathy and empathy as I can muster in this case with the guy. It sounds like a totally horrific thing to need to deal with.
