Kyle Clifford convicted of raping ex-partner, killing family in London

Kyle Clifford, a 26-year-old man, was found guilty of raping his ex-partner Louise Hunt during a violent attack that also resulted in the murders of Louise, her sister Hannah, and their mother Carol. The jury at Cambridge Crown Court deliberated for about 45 minutes before delivering the verdict, confirming the prosecution's assertion that the rape was a 'violent, sexual act of spite'. Clifford, who had previously pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, did not attend the trial, having refused to leave his prison cell. Prosecutors revealed that his violent actions were fueled by misogyny, notably influenced by controversial social media figure Andrew Tate. The tragic incident occurred on July 9, 2024, when Clifford gained access to the Hunt family home under false pretenses before launching his brutal attack. The judge described Clifford's crimes as 'dreadful' and 'almost unspeakable', and he is due to be sentenced soon.
