The police have arrested the suspect who killed 3 women of the family of a BBC radio commentator in Britain. British police informed that on Wednesday they have caught the suspect, who is armed with arrows and bows and is suspected of killing the wife and 2 daughters of a famous BBC radio commentator.
Hertfordshire Police said in a statement that 26-year-old Kyle Clifford has been arrested near his house in Enfield area of North London. He is injured and is being treated. Police did not say how he got injured, but said that he did not fire any bullets. John Hunt is a famous horse racing commentator of BBC Radio. He told that Clifford probably carried out this triple murder with arrows and bows and other weapons.
Identity of the accused not revealed
However, BBC confirmed that the women killed were members of John Hunt’s family. This included his wife Carol Hunt, 61, and their daughters Louise and Hannah, aged 25 and 28 respectively. People were being urged not to go near Clifford while a search operation was underway following the murder. Enfield is about 52 kilometres (17 miles) east of the scene. Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins, of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: “Following extensive enquiries, the suspect has been located and no one else is being sought in connection with the investigation at this time.”
She said: “This is an incredibly difficult time for the victims’ families and we ask that their privacy be respected. They need the courage to cope with what has happened to them.” Jenkins said the investigation was moving “rapidly” and the victims had not yet been formally identified. She also said the “premature” naming of the victims had “caused a great deal of distress.” Police were searching a park in north London near Clifford’s home after being alerted on Tuesday to the murders at a house in Bushey, a residential area in northwest London. Police and ambulance crews tried to save him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. John Hunt is the main racing commentator for BBC 5 Live, the corporation’s main news and sports radio channel. His voice is known to millions through coverage of the world-famous Grand National and The Derby.
The Daily Mail newspaper and others reported that John Hunt learned of the murder when he returned home after reporting at Lingfield Park racecourse, south of London, on Tuesday evening. As part of a note sent to BBC staff, the broadcaster described the incident as “extremely devastating” and said it would provide Hunt with “as much support as possible”.
Preparations to control bows and arrows
Although the police did not say how or what Clifford, who hails from London, was related to the women, British media is saying that he was the boyfriend of one of Hunt’s daughters. The BBC reported that Clifford had served in the British Army for some time in 2022.
People in Britain do not need a license to keep bows and arrows, but it is illegal to carry it in public without a reasonable excuse. A Home Office spokesman said Cooper would “rapidly consider” the findings from a recently launched review into whether further controls should be introduced on bows and arrows.
