Kyle Clifford Convicted of Raping Ex-Girlfriend and Triple Murder

The former soldier carried out a meticulously planned attack on Louise Hunt and her family after their breakup, fueled by misogynistic influences and escalating violence.

Kyle Clifford, 26, was found guilty of raping his ex-girlfriend Louise Hunt, 25, before murdering her, her sister Hannah, 28, and their mother Carol, 61, in July 2024.
Clifford planned the attack after Louise ended their 18-month relationship, purchasing weapons, including a crossbow and knife, and researching violent material online.
The prosecution highlighted Clifford’s interest in misogynistic content, including videos by Andrew Tate, though the jury was not shown this evidence due to potential prejudice.
Clifford's actions were described as a calculated response to rejection, involving two hours of restraint and sexual violence against Louise before murdering her and her family.
The murders have prompted renewed calls for social media platforms to address harmful content that perpetuates violence against women.
