On 9 July 2024, three members of the Hunt family—Carol Hunt and two of her daughters, Hannah and Louise Hunt—were killed in their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, by Louise's ex-boyfriend Kyle Clifford. The subsequent manhunt lasted until the next day, ending when Clifford was found injured near his home in the London Borough of Enfield. A house in the neighbourhood where the Hunts lived had recorded footage of the murderer getting inside a car with a bag. For the murders, Clifford was given a whole-life sentence on 11 March 2025.
