The victims of an ‘unprecedented’ crossbow triple killing may have been held captive for hours before they died, it has emerged.
Carol Hunt, 61, wife of BBC racing commentator John Hunt, and two of their daughters, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were tied up and executed at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on Tuesday.
Detectives are waiting to question sole suspect Kyle Clifford, who remains in a ‘serious condition’ in hospital with self-inflicted injuries after he was found in a cemetery in Enfield on Wednesday.
Clifford, 26, is believed to have undergone emergency surgery for a chest wound and is being treated under police guard at a London hospital. He is thought to have been in the area around the victims’ home for up to seven hours before they were killed, although it is unknown how long he spent inside, the Guardian reports.
Investigators are speaking to neighbours and sifting through doorbell camera footage to try and piece together what happened before racing expert Mr Hunt arrived home to a scene of carnage.
