Man Accused of Killing Racing Commentator's Family Faces New Rape Charge

Kyle Clifford pleads not guilty to triple murder and other charges, with a new rape charge yet to be addressed in court.

  • Kyle Clifford, 26, is accused of murdering Carol Hunt, wife of BBC commentator John Hunt, and their daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, in Bushey, Hertfordshire on July 9.
  • The charges include three counts of murder, one count of false imprisonment, and two counts of possessing offensive weapons: a crossbow and a 10-inch butcher's knife.
  • At a Cambridge Crown Court hearing, Clifford pleaded not guilty to all charges except a newly added rape charge, for which he has not yet entered a plea.
  • The victims were found bound and fatally injured, with Hannah and Louise shot by a crossbow and Carol suffering multiple stab wounds.
  • John Hunt and his surviving daughter Amy have expressed their devastation, describing the tragedy as an 'unimaginable' loss, while a memorial service and community support have followed the incident.
