A huge manhunt for a potentially armed triple murder suspect is under way following the “utterly devastating” crossbow deaths of the wife and two daughters of a BBC racing commentator.

As part of a note sent to BBC 5 Live staff on Wednesday, the organisation said it would provide John Hunt with “all the support we can” after the killings of Carol Hunt and her two daughters Hannah and Louise in Bushey, Hertfordshire .

Police have said 26-year-old suspect Kyle Clifford, who is understood to have left the British Army in 2022 following a short period of service, is believed to be armed and in Hertfordshire or north London.

The hunt for Clifford appeared to focus on a cemetery in the Hilly Fields area of Enfield , north London on Wednesday afternoon.

Emergency services, including armed police, could be seen in the area in footage posted on social media, with Hertfordshire Police saying they were unable to confirm whether they had narrowed their search for the triple murder suspect to the area.

Armed police also searched a home in Rendlesham Road, Enfield, on Wednesday morning as the hunt for Clifford continued.

He is wanted over the deaths of Mrs Hunt and two of her daughters who were aged 25 and 28 when they were killed in Ashlyn Close on Tuesday.

Footage posted on social media appeared to show the suspect wearing black and carrying a large item under his right arm as he walked near the scene.

He is then seen to place the item into a black car, getting in the vehicle and pausing for a moment.
