More tragic details about the final moments of John Hunt’s family members have emerged.

Following the tragic crossbow attack that claimed the lives of BBC journalist’s wife, Carol (age 61), and her daughters Hannah (28) and Louise (25), on July 9, an inquest was conducted on July 30 to disclose further details regarding their untimely demise.

Later on, despite sustaining severe injuries, Hannah remained conscious upon the police’s arrival at her family’s residence, as reported by The Guardian, quoting an inquest, and she even sought assistance during the assault that took place on July 9.

In the course of following events closely, I received a text from Hannah that painted a chilling picture. She mentioned being restrained by an unwelcome visitor at her residence, as revealed during the inquest by a coroner’s officer, according to the Guardian. She also urgently requested me to dial the police and cautioned that the intruder was still within our home.

It’s said that she subsequently managed to call the local emergency number (999), informing them that she, her sister, and her mother had all been shot. She also provided her address before the call was disconnected.

During the investigation, it was further revealed that Hannah and Louise succumbed to fatal crossbow attacks, whereas Carol lost her life due to stab wounds inflicted on her chest and abdomen.

Two days post the tragic incident, I, Kyle Clifford, found myself apprehended after an extensive search by authorities, who had previously suggested at a press briefing that I might be linked to the crime and the affected family.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I’m here to bring you the latest updates, and today we’re discussing the situation surrounding Kyle. As reported by the BBC, due to some unspecified injuries he was found with, authorities have been unable to interview him as of July 30. However, it’s important to note that, according to the Hertfordshire Constabulary, no shots were fired by police during his capture.

Although the authorities haven’t verified that Kyle is linked to the family, several British media sources claim he was previously in a relationship with one of John and Carol’s daughters.

After the unfortunate incident that affected their family, John and his remaining daughter, Amy, conveyed a heartfelt thank you to the public via the BBC, highlighting the appreciation they felt for the support they had been given in the days following the event.

On behalf of us, I’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the compassionate messages and the incredible support you’ve shown us in the past few days. These gestures have brought immense comfort to us, and we are truly thankful for your kindness.

Later, John also passed on a tribute via his racing commentator buddy and confidant, Matt Chapman, honoring Amy’s strength amidst the unfathomable hardship they had encountered.

“John, speaking through Matt, shared that his oldest daughter Amy has been incredibly inspiring to him with her composure and assistance. He’s finding it challenging, but trying to emulate this behavior. Despite the terrible tragedy affecting our family, causing immeasurable damage, we’ve also received uplifting messages of support, some of which are yet to be read.” (July 13)
