Overview

• 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.
