Crossbow Killer Kyle Clifford Sentenced to Whole Life Order for Triple Murder

Kyle Clifford, 26, has been sentenced to three whole-life orders for the brutal murders of his ex-girlfriend Louise Hunt, her sister Hannah, and their mother Carol, along with the rape of Louise, during a violent attack in July. The judge described Clifford as a 'jealous man soaked in self-pity' who acted with extreme violence fueled by rage over the end of his relationship. Following the murders, he planned the attacks meticulously, gaining entry to the home under false pretenses. During the sentencing, victim impact statements from the family conveyed profound grief and anger, with Louise's father expressing his wish to confront Clifford directly. The judge made it clear that Clifford would never be released from prison, emphasizing the severity of his actions and the impact on the victims' family. Clifford refused to attend the sentencing, described as an 'act of cowardice'.
