throbber Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I’m surprised @ICTChris hasn’t started a thread about this yet but it is a truly awful case where a 26 year old man has murdered the wife and both daughters of BBC radio presenter John Hunt. Has any other p and b poster had their entire families murdered by a crossbow yielding maniac? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Thankfully police have caught the main suspect. I’m sure his motivation will come out in time, doesn’t take a genius to work out what likely happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) I once went deer stalking with a crossbow and it was a surprisingly great day out. As the light started to fade, I actually got one with a beauty of a shot to it's chest and, I have to say, watching as the life slowly drains from a fallen creature's eyes is a truly thrilling experience. The behavior of this Kyle Clifford character is seriously unbecoming, however. Edited July 11 by Barry Ferguson's Hat 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking very hard one of the daughters was posting last week about how she admired any woman who left a relationship etc so it’s not particularly difficult to piece this one together. Absolutely awful stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely awful stuff. I saw the story and thought it would be some nutty ex-partner. Gold medal for me. I’ve always fancied a crossbow. The weapon of choice for nutters who don’t like axes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he pulled the arrows out of his victims or just left them inside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 As a regular horse racing gambler, John Hunt's voice as commentator (an excellent one I might add) is familiar to me. On a personal level, quite how someone begins to overcome something so tragic like that happening to their family is utterly beyond my comprehension. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he lost one of them like my son did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bobo Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Absolutely brutal murders. I cannot comprehend how any human can do this to three others. And how can the family get over this. Just so sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your whole family is wiped out by some nutter. How do you deal with that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
