NEIGHBOURS last night told of their shock at the horror crossbow massacre that shattered the peace of their quiet suburban street.
They also paid tribute to victims Carol Hunt, 61 wife of BBC horse-racing commentator John and their daughter's Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25.
The devastated 5 Live star arrived home to find his tragic family gravely wounded. They died at the scene, despite the best effort of paramedics.
Carol, Hannah and Louise had been tied up before they were killed.
Footage posted online showed a man striding away from the scene with a three foot crossbow wrapped in a sheet under his right arm.
The killings sparked a 24-hour manhunt that ended last night when suspect Kyle Clifford, 26 a former soldier and Louise's ex-boyfriend-was found by police and taken to hospital.
Su Kehinde, a friend of the Hunts, laid flowers at the scene of the tragedy yesterday. The 60-year-old said: "They were the loveliest, gentlest family.
"They were the meekest human beings. They did not deserve this. They were beautiful souls." Su's daughter April, 32, told how Hannah "always had a smile".
Residents said Louise ran dog-grooming business Groom and Glow from the detached house in a cul-de-sac.
One, William Nourallah, added: "She was a gorgeous girl. She was happy every time I saw her. It's a waste of a life."
Neighbour Glyn Nicholas, 77, claimed Louise was so upset by the break-up with her boyfriend she crashed her car. He said: "She was driving home last week and drove into a wooden telegraph pole not far from the house.
