Court orders the bullast of the murderer who murdered 3 women to never be released from prison

A former British soldier who used a crossbow and a knife to kill his ex -girlfriend, his sister and mother in his family home north of London was sentenced on Tuesday to a lifetime order, which means that he would never be released from prison.

Kyle Clifford26, he declared himself guilty in January of killing Louise Hunt, 25, and his sister Hannah Hunt, 28 with a crossbow and his mother, Carol Hunt, 61, with a knife on July 9, 2024. He was convicted of three positions of murder, one of false imprisonment and two positions of possession of offensive weapons.

He was also convicted of violating Louise during the “carefully planned” attack against the family.

Judging Clifford, Judge Joel Bennathan said he was “a jealous man soaked in self -pity, a man who keeps total contempt.”

Clifford refused to appear in the sentence.

The prosecutors said they planned the murders for days, ordering the crossbow, the knife, an air gun and other elements after enraging when Louise increasingly worried ended their 18 -month relationship.

During the case, the jury showed evidence that Clifford obtained access to the family home in the quiet residential neighborhood of Bushey, northeast of the capital, deceiving the mother under the pretext that Louise’s belongings returned, before stabbing her brutally until death.

Clifford, “he pointed” for an hour for Louise to enter the house, before restricting, rapeing her and finally killing her with a crossbow. Then he fatally shot her sister, Hannah, when she returned to property after work.

The prosecutors said that less than 24 hours before carrying out the attacks, Clifford had sought the podcast of the self -styled misogynist influence Andrew Tate. They said the “violent misogyny” promoted by Clifford’s attacks “fed” of Tate.

After the murders, the Police launched a human hunt for the suspect before being found injured the next day in a cemetery in Enfield, north of London. Clifford had shot in the chest with the bully. He remains in a wheelchair, after being paralyzed from the chest down.

The three women were the wife and two of the daughters of the BBC Horse Race commentator John Hunt, who was in court throughout the trial and the verdict, along with her remaining daughter, Amy, 31.

When reading an emotional statement in court on Tuesday, John called Clifford a psychopath who disguised himself as an ordinary human being.

He said Louise had left Clifford after saying “enough is enough.”

“I hope women around the world take Louise’s courage as a bright lighthouse for their lives,” he said. “If you feel that enough is enough, then it is.”
