Man, 26, accused of raping BBC commentator’s daughter denies three murders
Kyle Clifford is accused of stabbing Carol Hunt, 61, the wife of John Hunt, to death and fatally shooting Louise, 25, and Hannah Hunt, 28.
A 26-year-old man accused of murdering three members of a BBC commentator’s family has been further charged with raping his daughter.
Kyle Clifford is accused of stabbing Carol Hunt, 61, the wife of John Hunt, to death and fatally shooting Louise, 25, and Hannah Hunt, 28, with a crossbow at their family home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on July 9.
Cambridge Crown Court heard the defendant is also accused of raping Louise on the same day after the charge was added to the indictment against him on Thursday.
Clifford, of Enfield, north London, is further accused of one charge of false imprisonment and two counts of possession of offensive weapons – namely a crossbow and a 10-inch butcher’s knife.
A previous court hearing heard Louise had been found tied up when officers attended the property.
Louise and Hannah Hunt had been shot with a crossbow and their mother Carol had been stabbed with a knife and suffered multiple injuries, the court was told.
Mr Hunt and his third daughter Amy previously issued a statement following the incident, which said: “The devastation we are experiencing cannot be put into words.”
Clifford is due to face trial at the same court on March 3.
