Crossbow Attack Claims Lives of BBC Journalist’s Wife and Daughters
BBC journalist John Hunt is facing a family tragedy.
British police have detained a man accused of carrying out a triple murder of the racing commentator’s wife and two of their children.
Authorities located the suspect, Kyle Clifford, 26, near Enfield July 10 following a manhunt that was launched after Carol Hunt, 61, and daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were found fatally injured at their home in Hertfordshire, northwest of London, Sky News reported.
Aerial footage from the outlet shows police carrying Clifford on a stretcher in a cemetery.
“He is receiving medical treatment having been found with injuries,” the Hertfordshire Constabulary said in a statement. “No shots were fired by police.”
Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit added, “Following extensive enquiries, the suspect has been located and nobody else is being sought in connection with the investigation at this time.”
The statement also said that police “believe the suspect was known to the victims.”
