A man has confessed to killing his ex-girlfriend and her family in a shocking attack
Enfield: A tragic story unfolded when Kyle Clifford, just 26, admitted to murdering his ex-girlfriend and her family. It all happened in July 2024 at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire. He used a crossbow and a knife in this horrific attack.
Louise Hunt, 25, was tied up and shot in the chest. Her sister, Hannah, 28, was found at the door with a crossbow bolt still in her. Sadly, their mother, Carol, 61, suffered severe stab wounds and didn’t survive.
Hannah managed to call the police, fearing for her life. She told them about the attack on her and her family. After the incident, Clifford went on the run but was later found injured in a cemetery after shooting himself.
In court, he pleaded guilty to three murders and other charges. He denied raping Louise, which will be addressed in a future trial. The case has raised questions about crossbow laws in the UK.
The Home Office is looking into whether stricter regulations are needed. Currently, there are no licensing requirements for owning a crossbow, making them easy to buy online.
Mr. Hunt, Louise’s father, expressed the family’s deep sorrow, saying the devastation is beyond words. This tragic event has left a lasting impact on the community.
