The wife of BBC racing commentator John Hunt, died from stab wounds while two of their daughters, Hannah and Louise, died from crossbow bolt injuries in an attack in Bushey earlier this month.

An inquest into the deaths of the three women has opened at Hertfordshire Coroner’s Court today.


Police have still not been able to question a man arrested on suspicion of killing a mother and two daughters in a crossbow attack.

Investigators will wait for medical staff to confirm that the man is well enough to be spoken to before they can quiz him about the triple murder in a quiet suburban home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on July 10.
