BREAKING: Police hunt suspect after wife and two daughters of BBC commentator killed

How does this happen? They walked out the door and all were shot with arrows? Someone broke in their house and shot them with arrows?

“Horrific” describes the coverage currently broadcast here in London. Shrill, concerned voices saying the same things over and over and over again.

I get this kind of violence is rare and significant here in the UK, but how many times do people need to be told “do not approach the suspect with a crossbow”?!?

[quote]Police are continuing their manhunt for suspect Kyle Clifford, 26, and armed officers are currently gathered at a cemetery in Enfield, north London

r1 They were tied in their home first, he's an ex-boyfriend of one of the daughters.

[quote]Mother Carol, 61, and daughters Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28, were found seriously injured at their £800,000 detached home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, last night.

DailyMail making sure to get the price of their house in there.

This is his brother, by the way.

R5 I think they do it to take the piss now considering even their own readers repeatedly criticise them for doing it.

He has three daughters, so one is still alive. Small consolation, I know.

An ex of one of the women?

You mean a whiny, entitled loser who is too weak to deal with rejection or real life.

Police searching for Kyle Clifford following the triple killing in Bushey say they have located a man in Enfield in north London. 18:25

he must be a horrible commentator.

[quote]Herts Police issued a statement which said: "Following an extensive search, Kyle Clifford, aged 26, was found in the Enfield area by officers this afternoon. [bold]He is receiving medical treatment having been found with injuries. No shots were fired by police."[/bold]

I Iike the way that town/village isn’t perfectly manicured. In the US the lawns and shrubbery would be perfectly mowed and pruned within an inch of their lives. I like the natural, slightly raggedy look. Better for pollinators and for homeowners

R12 Presumably he tried to kill himself and failed at that.

Roll on the inevitable whole life order.

Big pussy boy tried to off himself, of course. Too weak to take the consequences of his actions. Typical of murdering trash.

I've always been creeped out by crossbows, this story is like a nightmare.

What's a racing commentator?

Someone who provides commentary on horse racing.

Lowest rate of gun deaths in Europe. But determined psychos will find a way.

R17 He commentates on horse racing for the BBC.

I feel so bad for him. How does anyone get over their wife and two of their daughters being murdered in cold blood?

You just know it'll come out that he was stalking / otherwise harassing his ex.

Thanks, R20.

What a terrible nightmare. I'm glad they caught the suspect.

The same applies here in Canada r19. [sigh]

R6 fucking hell, what a family.

No words…

Omg. They have video of him leaving the house with a crossbow. Yikes.

He’s from a murderous family

Looks like R9 was correct:

"Clifford is believed to be an ex-boyfriend of Mr Hunt's daughter, Louise. Clifford, who has worked as a private security guard, spent several years as a soldier in the 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards"

R14 and what would you prefer to a whole life order, a 10 year sentence and released after 5 years?

This is like the end of We Need to Talk About Kevin.

R30 I was thinking that too. Very sadistic.

R29 I wasn't suggesting that it was an unsuitable punishment, just that it's (rightly) inevitable. Someone who murders three people doesn't deserve to be released.

A little lacking in the niceties there to call him a killer before he's even charged, Daily Mail.

Those daughters do not look like their parents.

It appears that the Clifford family has anger issues.

R35 it's the trashy bronzer

Is his family Arabic or something? They look…..dark.

"BBC commentator John Hunt"

Sizemeat verificacia?

Crossbows don’t kill commentators, commentators kill commentators.

[post redacted because independent.co.uk thinks that links to their ridiculous rag are a bad thing. Somebody might want to tell them how the internet works. Or not. We don't really care. They do suck though. Our advice is that you should not click on the link and whatever you do, don't read their truly terrible articles.]

This is such a dreadful story and seeing people on Social Media compete with each other to be more outraged and outrageous with their analysis.

ban arrowheads

Ironic that his name was Hunter and he was killed with a crossbow.

Thats like if Sean Penn is killed by a pencil.

He's paralysed due to that self-inflicted wound and will never walk again. Hasn't been questioned by the police yet.

[quote]He fired a bolt into his upper body before police could get to him the day after and was found unconscious in a cemetery near his home in Enfield.

Thoughts and prayers. But also points for originality for trying to kill yourself with a crossbow, haven't heard of that one before.

WTF was that young woman thinking getting involved with a guy who has such *terrible* hair? Did she feel sorry for him?

Some young women get with losers, thinking their love can encourage them to become better men, R46. You know, like movies and Disney tell them from when they were little.

A loser will always be a loser. In this case, a loser with a violent temper and bad hair.
