John Hunt is one step closer to justice.
Just over six months since the BBC reporter’s wife Carol Hunt, 61, and daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were killed in a crossbow attack carried out at the family’s home, Kyle Clifford has changed his plea from not guilty to guilty.
While Kyle originally pleaded not guilty in December to the murders of the three women—an inquest obtained by The Guardian last summer confirmed Hannah and Louise died of crossbow wounds, while Carol died from stab wounds to her chest and abdomen—the BBC reports that in a virtual court appearance Jan. 22, Kyle has pleaded guilty to their murders as well as to false imprisonment and possession of an offensive weapon.
He has also pleaded not guilty to a charge of raping Louise, his ex-girlfriend, for which he will stand trial later this year, per the BBC.
On July 9, 2024, police were called to the Hunt family home after Hannah was able to place a call to law enforcement, informing them she, her sister and her mother had been shot and supplying her address before the call cut out, per The Guardian.
