  • BBC sports commentator John Hunt has given an emotional interview about navigating his grief after his wife, Carol, and daughters, Louise and Hannah, were brutally murdered in July 2024.
  • The murders were committed by Louise's ex-partner, Kyle Clifford, 26, who became enraged after Louise ended their relationship.
  • Clifford gained access to the family home in Bushey, killed Carol, then waited for Louise, whom he raped and shot, before killing Hannah when she returned home.
  • Mr Hunt has spoken about managing his grief, finding strength in the knowledge that he “can cope” and immersing himself in music and reading.
  • He has been inspired by Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning and believes that he has choices in how he lives his life, despite Clifford, who received a whole-life term, taking so much from him.
