An Enfield man has been charged with three counts of murder following the deaths of Carol, Louise and Hannah Hunt, who were shot with a crossbow in their Hertfordshire home.

The three women were fatally injured during the attack at a home in Ashlyn Close in Bushey on July 9.

Suspect Kyle Clifford, 26, was eventually caught after a manhunt ended with him being found injured in Enfield close to where he lives.

Kyle Clifford, aged 26, of Rendlesham Road, Enfield, was charged yesterday with three counts of murder, false imprisonment and two counts of possession of offensive weapons.

He was subsequently remanded into custody and will next appear remotely at Westminster Magistrates Court today (September 17) at 10am.

Officers had previously been unable to interview Kyle Clifford whilst he received 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.

"We have managed to secure charges against Kyle Clifford in connection with the murders of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt. 

“Although it has taken some time to reach this stage, we can now move forward with the judicial process and seek justice for their family.”
