Recent reports reveal that Kyle Clifford, the main suspect in the horrific crossbow murders of Carol Hunt and her daughters Hannah and Louise, has suffered a self-inflicted injury that has left him paralyzed.
Clifford, who is accused of killing the three women at their Bushey, Hertfordshire, home on July 9, reportedly shot himself with a crossbow bolt, which has damaged his spinal cord and left him unlikely to walk again.
After the murders, Clifford, a 26-year-old former soldier and security guard, was the target of an extensive manhunt.
He was tracked down to a graveyard in north London within 24 hours of the bodies being discovered.
Following his arrest, Clifford was rushed to the hospital for life-saving surgery.
While he has regained consciousness, he remains in critical condition, and police are awaiting medical clearance before they can formally question him.
Impact on the Victims’ Family
The shocking deaths of Carol Hunt, 61, Hannah Hunt, 28, and Louise Hunt, 25, have left their family and the community reeling. John Hunt, a BBC racing commentator, and his remaining daughter Amy have expressed their profound grief.
In a public statement, they thanked supporters for their comforting messages during this incredibly difficult time and requested privacy as they begin to grieve.
Community Support and Tributes
The tragedy has elicited an outpouring of support for John Hunt, who has been a respected figure at the BBC for 30 years. Friends and family gathered at a vigil at St. James’ Church in Bushey to pay tribute to Carol and her daughters.
Lea Holloway, a childhood friend of Carol, described the family as lovely and expressed her heartache over their untimely deaths.
Friends Dionne Smith and Abigail Phillips also shared their sorrow, noting the deep sense of loss and disbelief at the tragedy.
Ongoing Investigation
Detective Superintendent Rob Hall from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire major crime unit has stated that the investigation is ongoing, and although Clifford has been arrested, the usual time limits for questioning suspects do not yet apply.
The police continue to focus on the case as they await the opportunity to speak with Clifford about the murders.
As this story unfolds, the community remains deeply affected by the loss of Carol, Hannah, and Louise Hunt, and support for the surviving family continues to grow.
