Crossbow Killer Kyle Clifford Pleads Guilty to Triple Murder

Kyle Clifford, 26, is on trial for the triple murder of BBC horse racing pundit John Hunt's family, having admitted to killing Louise Hunt, 25, and her sister Hannah, 28, with a crossbow, and stabbing their mother Carol, 61. CCTV footage presented in court shows Clifford purchasing rope, petrol cans, and a butchering knife in the days leading up to the July 9 murders, indicating a premeditated attack. Prosecutors described his actions as 'extreme violence,' stemming from a desperate attempt to rekindle his relationship with Louise after she ended their 18-month romance. While Clifford has pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, he denies raping Louise during the incident, which prosecutors allege was a violent act of spite. The trial revealed that after murdering Carol, Clifford restrained Louise before killing her and then shot Hannah as she returned home. The chilling details of the case have drawn widespread attention, particularly given the family's connections to public figures in the UK.
