Isn’t this a horrible story? The press says he is a “racing” reporter. Does that mean dog and horse racing or auto racing?

God, I hope he didn’t get involved in betting and gambling, owed the mob a lot of money, and they killed his family when he couldn’t pay. That’s how it sometimes happens here in the states.

In the UK, with very tough laws about firearms of all types, other types of alternative weapons are out there. Cross bows are legal to buy and possess in the UK. So are knives. Ask any UK adult about the level of "knife crime " in their country ? In recent memory an off duty British soldier was killed by a lunatic armed with a Japanese sword and other examples of terrorists armed with knives have happened.

just yesterday in a suburb of North London.. an area usually associated with little crime.. there was a video which captured a bunch of youths jumping out of cars in the middle of the day outside some local shops.. and attacking each other with Machettes...right in front of shoppers and people walking their dogs...

Just appalling..

Up until now.. we've just seen this in inner city areas.. now it's beginning to spill out into the suburbs..
 
This all happened to the family who live in my county... altho' they live as far on the other side of the country from me as you can get. It used to be an upper class area attached to the more industrial crime based larger town next door called Watford. ..but it's all got a little mixed up now, and there's a lot of crime there.

The killer was found in one of the most crime ridden suburbs of North London.. why he was there who knows, maybe he lives there.

John Hunt is a Horse Racing commentator, working for the BBC. He was previously a Police Officer.

The murder suspect, Kyle Clifford, was previously in a relationship with John Hunt's daughter, Lousie Hunt. Lousie being one of the three women killed with the crossbow. It was also reported that Kyle had served in the British Army, Queen's Dragoon Guards.

It has been reported that the reason Kyle Clifford was taken to hospital was because he stabbed himself in the chest before being apprehended. Kyle has subsequently received emergency surgery in the hospital and was officially arrested at his hospital bed.
 
Kyle Clifford has been charged today with the murders of Carol Hunt and her two daughters. He was also charged with false imprisonment and two counts of possession of offensive weapons: a MX-405 compact crossbow and a 10-inch (25 cm) "butcher's knife."

Police had previously been unable to interview Mr. Clifford while he was receiving treatment in the hospital, where he remained under arrest.
