The boyfriend of one of three women killed in a crossbow attack has paid tribute to the “love of my life”.

Carol Hunt, 61, the wife of BBC 5 Live commentator John Hunt, and two of their daughters, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were found injured at a house in Bushey, Hertfordshire, just after 7pm on Tuesday. They died a short time later at the scene.

Alex Klein, who was in a relationship with Hannah Hunt, shared a photo of the two of them together in a social media post.

He wrote: “RIP the love of my life, I will never forget you, stolen from me too soon.

“The brightest light in my life.

“My brave queen for life.

“Until we meet again… I love you Hansy.”

He also shared other images of the pair including photos of them kissing in a swimming pool, adding: “Forever with me.”

Hannah ran her own beauty business, and recently posted on social media saying she had been “busy with clients every day”.

Her colleagues at The Anti-Ageing Clinic paid tribute on Facebook to a “fantastic therapist”, saying their “clients loved her”.

The suspect in the killing, 26-year-old Kyle Clifford, is the former partner of Louise Hunt, a neighbour told Sky News.

Louise ran a dog grooming business from her home.

Rohit Mitra, a friend of Louise, described her as “one of the loveliest girls I knew”, saying she “always had a smile and was very positive and hardworking”.

Friends and neighbours attended a memorial service for the victims on Thursday, where Lea Holloway, who was there when Carol met her husband John, told reporters: “She was a lovely, lovely person. We can’t believe what happened. We were a four, and now there’s only three. It doesn’t seem real.”

Mrs Hunt’s friend added her sympathy for the Hunts’ surviving daughter and Mrs Hunt’s husband John, who is a Sky Sports Racing presenter.

Clifford was found injured in a cemetery in Enfield, north London, after a massive police manhunt and is receiving medical treatment.

Police said on Thursday he was in a serious condition and had yet to be interviewed by officers.

Hertfordshire Police said a crossbow has since been recovered as part of the investigation.

Police confirmed they had received no earlier reports after exploring whether there had been previous contact with Clifford or the victims.

Officers are carrying out further searches of a house in Enfield as Clifford remains in hospital.
