I think men killing their female partners has been consistent for a number of years at 2 a week I think.
Vile dangerous man.
Those poor women.

It seems that women are not safe anywhere. Every time something like this happens there is a great deal of talk from the police about "Moving forwards we have learned from our mistakes" but they never do.

Near where I live a girl was murdered by her ex-boyfriend. She had reported him to the police several times and all they did was prosecute her for wasting police time. This was quite recent.

It’s just such a tragic story. I’ve just read that the man they are looking for is the ex boyfriend of one of the daughters.
So very sad.

I was just about to suggest that. now it is fact.

Am I being blind but there seems to have been an enormous rise in the number of men pursuing and killing ex girl friends or partners.

In home domestic violence has always been with us, but this rise in the numbers pursuing and killing ex girlfriends and ex-partners seems to be a 21st century crime

Such horror

Plus …
Suspected crossbow killer Kyle Clifford’s brother is serving life for murder. Bradley Clifford beat a moped rider to death for causing minor damage to his Ford Mustang.

He’s ex-army and security. A dangerous man.
Frightening if you live round there I imagine till he’s caught.

They know who did it, a man called Kyle Clifford. He is still at large. I hope the police catch him soon.

I can't imagine how horrifying it must have been for the three women.

It must be terrible for John Hunt and his other daughter.

It’s truly horrific. That poor man. I think he has a third daughter. Police are looking for a 26y old man, Kyle somebody or other and urging the public not to approach him if recognised but to call 999.

I saw earlier that 3 women had been found dead and police were looking for a named person in his mid twenties.

It now transpires that the women were a mother and her two adult daughters and they were the wife and daughters of racing commentator, John Hunt. Apparently they were shot with a crossbow.

I’m so shocked and can’t begin to imagine their terror and the shock and grief of Mr Hunt. Just appalling. I hope the person responsible is caught very quickly.
