A man has been charged with the murder of a mother and two of her daughters who were fatally injured in a crossbow attack at their home.

Mr Clifford was unable to be interviewed by the police while he received treatment for his injuries in a hospital where he remained in custody.
The victims were the wife and daughters of BBC racing commentator John Hunt. Mr Hunt and his surviving daughter, Amy, were deeply shocked by the tragedy which defies words. A GoFundMe fundraiser was set up to support Mr Hunt and his surviving daughter in the aftermath of the incident which raised over £120,000 in donations pledged.
