Kyle Clifford Arrested in Hospital Bed in Connection with Murders of BBC Presenter’s Family

Kyle Clifford has been arrested on suspicion of murdering BBC racing commentator John Hunt’s wife and two daughters in a horrific crossbow attack.

The 26-year-old was tracked to a cemetery in Enfield, north London, on Wednesday afternoon and has remained in the hospital in serious condition since.

He is accused of killing Carol Hunt, 61, and sisters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, in what police described as a targeted attack.

Mr. Hunt reportedly returned home from work to discover the scene on Ashlyn Close in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on Tuesday evening.

Detective Superintendent Rob Hall, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: “Our thoughts remain with the victims’ family at this tragic time. The investigation is moving at pace, and as a result, we have now arrested a man. Enquiries are continuing at this time.”

Lea Holloway, 60, a childhood friend of Carol Hunt, described her as a “beautiful person.”

Speaking outside St James’ Church on Thursday after a vigil for Mrs. Hunt and her daughters, she said: “We grew up together and were pregnant at the same time. This is the stuff nightmares are made of. I was there the night she met John. It was in a nightclub in Hemel Hempstead. We went out together, went to birthdays and events. It’s very difficult. She was the nicest, kindest, sweetest person you could ever meet. A beautiful person.”

Ms. Holloway continued: “They were a lovely family and the daughters were lovely girls. They were making their way through life, and their lives have been taken too soon. It’s the thing of nightmares.”
