John Hunt speaks about managing grief after wife and daughters killed

  • The murders were committed by Louise's ex-partner, Kyle Clifford, 26, who became enraged after Louise ended their relationship.
  • Clifford gained access to the family home in Bushey, killed Carol, then waited for Louise, whom he raped and shot, before killing Hannah when she returned home.
