Kyle Clifford pleads guilty to triple murder in crossbow attack

Kyle Clifford, 26, has pleaded guilty to the murders of his ex-girlfriend Louise Hunt, her sister Hannah Hunt, and their mother Carol Hunt in a brutal attack at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on July 9. Clifford used a crossbow to kill Louise and Hannah, while Carol suffered fatal stab wounds from a butcher's knife. The incident initiated a manhunt that ended with Clifford found injured after attempting to take his own life. He also pleaded guilty to false imprisonment and possession of offensive weapons but denied a charge of rape related to Louise. Following the attack, the Home Office is reviewing whether to tighten laws regarding crossbow ownership, as current regulations are minimal. This case has reignited discussions on the need for stricter controls over such weapons in the UK.
