Kyle Clifford, 26, has been charged with three counts of murder after the deaths of Carol Hunt and her two daughters, Louise and Hannah Hunt, in Bushey on 9 July, Hertfordshire police said. Clifford, who served with the British army in the Queen's Dragoon Guards, also faces charges of false imprisonment and two counts of possession of offensive weapons.
Clifford, from Enfield, was found in a cemetery in Enfield with injuries on 10 July.
In a statement, Hertfordshire police said officers had previously been unable to interview Clifford while he received treatment in hospital, where he remained under arrest.
After questioning, he was charged and remanded into custody.
Clifford appeared remotely at Westminster magistrates court yesterday. The charges were read out in full in court. On counts one to three, Clifford is accused of murdering Hannah, Carol and Louise on 9 July.
