A FUGITIVE accused of murdering the wife and two daughters of BBC racing commentator John Hunt in a 'crossbow attack" has been captured at a cemetery after a huge manhunt.
Ex-soldier Kyle Clifford, 26, was stretchered away with injuries. He had been named as a suspect after Carol Hunt, 61, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were found fatally injured at their home in Bushey, Herts. The veteran broadcaster had discovered the horrific scene as he arrived home on Tuesday evening. Sources said last night his wife was found in the hallway with a crossbow bolt in her chest while evidence of ligatures was near the victims.
One of the women is understood to have texted her partner, pleading with them to call the police.
A friend last night described the trio as "beautiful souls". Su Kehinde, 60, added: "They were the loveliest, gentlest family. They were the meekest human beings.
They did not deserve this." Her daughter April, 32, said that Hannah "always had a smile, was hard-working, a hard grafter and really gentle." Clifford was seen being put into an ambulance in the Hilly Fields area of Enfield, North London by armed police and paramedics yesterday afternoon.
An all-ports alert had been sent out earlier as officers desperately tried to trace him. Police sources said the three women were tied up then shot in a "targeted attack" that may have also included "other weapons" at the £800,000 home.
