A man has admitted murdering a mother and two of her daughters in a crossbow and knife attack at their home in Hertfordshire.

Carol Hunt, 61, was stabbed to death and Hannah Hunt, 28, and Louise Hunt, 25, suffered fatal crossbow bolt injuries in Bushey, near Watford, on 9 July.

Kyle Clifford, 26, from Enfield, north London, changed his plea to the murders during an appearance via video link at Cambridge Crown Court.

The three women were the wife and daughters of BBC racing commentator John Hunt.

The attacks in the cul-de-sac of Ashlyn Close sparked a manhunt which ended with Clifford being found injured in Lavender Hill Cemetery in Enfield.

An inquest heard that Mrs Hunt died from stab wounds to her chest and abdomen, while her daughters both died from crossbow injuries.

Clifford has denied a charge of rape in connection to Louise Hunt.
