An Enfield man wanted in connection with a triple murder in Hertfordshire has been found following an extensive search.

Kyle Clifford, aged 26, was found in the Enfield area by police officers this afternoon (Wednesday 10th). He is receiving medical treatment having been found with injuries. No shots were fired by police.

The victims of the attack at a property in Bushey, near Watford, were three women aged 61, 28 and 25. They were named by the BBC as the family of racing commentator John Hunt.

The search for Clifford lasted nearly 24 hours and appears to have culminated at Lavender Hill Cemetery, near Hilly Fields Park, at around 5.30pm.

Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: “This continues to be an incredibly difficult time for the victims’ family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with what has happened.

“This investigation is moving at pace and formal identification of the victims is yet to take place. The premature naming of potential victims has caused great upset to the family when they should’ve been given the space to come to terms with their sudden
loss.

“Following extensive enquiries, the suspect has been located and nobody else is being sought in connection with the investigation at this time.

“We have had an overwhelming number of calls and would like to express our gratitude to the members of the public who have contacted us. We would still appeal for anyone with information or footage to please contact police directly and refrain from commenting on social media as this could affect the progress of the case.

“We have set up an information portal where people can submit any information, photos or video footage which they feel could assist us with our investigation.

“This incident will of course be of concern to local residents. Additional local officers will be in the area today so please do speak to them if you need to.”
