Kyle Clifford Sentenced to Life Without Parole for Triple Murder and Rape

The former soldier murdered his ex-girlfriend, her sister, and their mother in a premeditated attack fueled by violent misogyny.

Kyle Clifford was handed a whole-life order, ensuring he will never be released from prison, for the murders of Louise Hunt, her sister Hannah, and their mother Carol in July 2024.
The 26-year-old former soldier raped Louise Hunt as part of a calculated attack after she ended their 18-month relationship, which he perceived as a personal affront.
Clifford used a crossbow to kill Louise and Hannah and fatally stabbed Carol after gaining entry to the family home under false pretenses.
The court heard that Clifford’s actions were influenced by misogynistic ideologies, including material from controversial figure Andrew Tate, which he accessed prior to the attack.
John Hunt, the victims' husband and father, delivered an emotional victim impact statement in court, condemning Clifford as a psychopath and praising the strength of his late family members.
