BY DAN WARBURTON THE daughter of racing commentator John Hunt managed to send a text pleading for help in the midst of the home invasion that killed her, an inquest heard.

Hannah Hunt, 28, texted an unnamed person saying she had been tied up and that the attacker was still there.

After she, her sister and mother were all shot with the crossbow, she managed to call 999 and give her address. The call then cut out.

Hannah was still alive when police arrived just after 7pm on July 9.
