John Hunt family latest: Kyle Clifford found by police in manhunt after BBC host’s wife and daughters killed

Suspect Kyle Clifford, 26, having medical treatment for injuries, say Herts police

Armed police have found the man suspected of the crossbow murders of the wife and two daughters of BBC racing commentator John Hunt.

Officers and paramedics had rushed to a cemetery in Enfield, north London, following a huge manhunt that lasted most of Wednesday for Kyle Clifford, 26.

He was found in the Enfield area and was treated for injuries, police said. Hertfordshire Police said their officers did not fire any shots.

Clifford, who left the British Army in 2022 following a brief period of service, was wanted over the deaths of Carol Hunt, 61, and the couple’s two daughters, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25.

The three women were found with serious injuries after officers were called to a property in Bushey on Tuesday evening.

During the manhunt, the force said they believed Clifford may have been armed with a crossbow and warned the public not to approach him.

Home secretary Yvette Cooper said she was being kept fully updated about the “truly shocking” deaths.

A Home Office spokeswoman said Ms Cooper would consider the findings of a call for evidence on crossbows to see whether laws need to be tightened further.
