Who is Bushey murder suspect Kyle Clifford?
KYLE Clifford is wanted by police after three women were allegedly murdered in Bushey, Hertfordshire.
A manhunt has been launched for Clifford, who is believed to be armed and dangerous. Police have urged anyone who sees him to call 999 immediately.
Who is Kyle Clifford?
Kyle Clifford was a trooper – the equivalent to a private – in the Queen’s Dragoon Guards.
He is believed to have left the army to pursue a career in the Household Cavalry Regiment after passing out.
Clifford is from Enfield, North London and is 26 years old.
The suspected murderer’s former boss said: “Clifford joined the Army in 2019 and I was his Troop Commander from Basic Training.
“When he joined the Army he was immature for his age and had a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
“He struggled to grasp basic military concepts but managed to reach the standard to pass out from training.
“After passing out he joined the Household Cavalry Regiment but I’m unsure how his career developed from there.
“I hear he was working in private security so would indicate that he is no longer in the military.”
Clifford allegedly murdered BBC Five Live racing commentator John Hunt’s wife Carol, and daughters Hannah and Louise.
The three women – aged 25, 28, and 61 – were found dead at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire on July 9, 2024.
They were found with serious injuries at around 7pm in what police have called a targeted attack.
The trio tragically died at the scene despite paramedics’ best efforts.
A neighbour told the Sun they heard screaming and that “within 15 minutes it was absolute chaos”.
The neighbour added: “We had armed police running down, screaming ‘stay in your house’…. they shut us off and basically put us into lockdown.”
Where is Kyle Clifford now?
Clifford is currently on the run and is believed to be in the areas of Hertfordshire or North London.
Hertfordshire Police launched a manhunt on Wednesday July 10,2024.
They suspect him to be armed and urge the public to call 999 immediately if they see him.
Detective Superintendent Rob Hall from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: “Kyle, if you are seeing or hearing this please make contact with police via 999.”
He added: “This is an incredibly difficult incident for the victims’ family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with what has happened.
“Whilst we are still in the early stages of this investigation, we are actively seeking Kyle Clifford who we believe could be in the areas of Hertfordshire or North London.
“Given the serious nature of the incident, I would ask anyone who knows where he is to contact police immediately.
“If you believe you see him, please do not approach him and dial 999 straight away.
“He may still be in possession of a weapon.”
