Kyle Clifford sentenced to three life sentences 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 at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire. The court heard that Clifford's crimes were premeditated, fueled by jealousy after Louise ended their relationship, and that he exhibited profound misogyny, influenced by the social media figure Andrew Tate. During the sentencing at Cambridge Crown Court, Judge Mr. Justice Bennathan condemned Clifford as a 'jealous man soaked in self-pity' who holds women in utter contempt. Victim impact statements from John Hunt and his surviving daughter Amy highlighted the emotional devastation caused by the murders, with Mr. Hunt describing Clifford as a 'psychopath' who callously took the most important people in their lives. The judge emphasized the need for a whole-life sentence, stating that Clifford's actions were 'almost unspeakable' and that he had conducted extensive planning for the attack. Following the murders, Clifford fled but later attempted suicide and was left paralyzed, refusing to cooperate with police investigations.
