A man has been charged with murdering the wife and two daughters of racing commentator John Hunt in crossbow attack in Bushey in July.
Police from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire (BCH) Major Crime Unit have now questioned Kyle Clifford, 26, of Rendlesham Road, Enfield, who had been under arrest since July 10. On Monday, September 16, Clifford was charged with three counts of murder, false imprisonment, and two counts of possession of offensive weapons.
He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear remotely at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, September 17, at 10am. Officers had previously been unable to interview Clifford as he was receiving treatment for an injury in hospital, where he remained under arrest.
Detective Chief Inspector Nick Gardner, from the BCH Major Crime Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with the Hunt family and their loved ones as they continue to come to terms with their loss.
“Over the past couple of months, we have been working hard to gather as much evidence as possible and establish the full circumstances of what happened that day. Today, we have managed to secure charges against Kyle Clifford in connection with the murders of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt.
