In Britain today, (Thursday) the news is heavily focused on the murder of the mother and her two daughters with a bow and arrow in the suburbs of London. This triple murder has shocked the kingdom and has caused astonishment in part due to the fact that the victims are the wife and daughters of a famous BBC sports presenter, John Hunt.
The BBC confirmed that the women killed were members of Mr.Hunt's family - his 61-year-old wife Carol Hunt and their daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25.
Last night, the murder suspect was caught at the end of an extensive manhunt, in a cemetery in North London, where he allegedly tried to shoot himself with a bow and arrow. It has become clear that the young daughter who was murdered separated from the suspect only about a week ago, and it is possible that this is the background to the murder.
Only yesterday, hours after the murder, the police released the identity of the suspect, 26-year-old Kyle Clifford, a former soldier and security guard who, according to reports, was Louise's ex-partner.
The police stated that the killer used a bow and arrow, and that he may have had other weapons in his possession. The Guardian reported that when the police were called to the house yesterday, around 7 p.m., they discovered the body of Carol's mother lying in the hallway with an arrow lodged in her chest. The British newspaper noted that signs were discovered at the scene indicating that the mother and her two daughters had been tied by the hands and around the mouth, but when the bodies were found they were no longer tied. The official responsible for the investigation told the Guardian that all three were also found to have signs of injury to their knees.
