Triple Killer Admits Murders, Denies Rape of BBC Star's Ex

Kyle Clifford, 26, is on trial for the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend Louise Hunt, her mother Carol, and sister Hannah, stemming from a violent attack on July 9, 2024, in Bushey, Hertfordshire. Prosecutors allege that Clifford, enraged by the recent end of his relationship with Louise, planned the murders and gained access to the family home by deceiving Carol. He fatally stabbed Carol and then restrained, raped, and shot Louise with a crossbow before murdering Hannah when she returned home. While Clifford has pleaded guilty to three counts of murder and other charges, he denies the allegation of rape against Louise. The prosecution described the attack as a 'violent, sexual act of spite' that highlighted Clifford's aggressive behavior towards Louise, which had raised concerns among her friends and family. The case has attracted significant attention, given that the victims are related to BBC racing commentator John Hunt, who has been present in court during the trial.
