The wife of a Sky and BBC racing broadcaster died from stab wounds and their two daughters died from crossbow bolt injuries, an inquest has heard.

Carol Hunt, who was married to racing commentator John Hunt, and two of their daughters Louise and Hannah were found fatally injured at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on 10 July.

The inquest heard Hannah had texted someone telling them she had been “tied up” at the family home.

She was asking for help in calling the police, saying the person responsible was at the house.

Ms Hunt then managed to call police, reporting that she, her mother and her sister had been shot.

She was able to give her address. Then the call cut out, the hearing was told.

When officers arrived they found her alive in the main doorway of the home, with a crossbow bolt still in her chest, senior coroner for Hertfordshire Geoffrey Sullivan was told.
