A manhunt is underway after three women were killed just outside of North London on Tuesday, July 9.
Hertfordshire Police officers were called to a home in Ashlyn Close, Bushey, just before 7pm, where they found three women with serious injuries. All three women, who are believed to be related, died at the scene.
This morning (Wednesday, July 10), the force said it has been searching throughout the night for 26-year-old Kyle Clifford, from Enfield, who is wanted in connection with the incident. Herts Police say Mr Clifford could be in Hertfordshire or North London and have warned people not to approach him as he may still be armed.
Detective Superintendent Rob Hall from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: “This is an incredibly difficult incident for the victims’ family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with what has happened.
“Whilst we are still in the early stages of this investigation, we are actively seeking Kyle Clifford who we believe could be in the areas of Hertfordshire or North London. Given the serious nature of the incident, I would ask anyone who knows where he is to contact police immediately. If you believe you see him, please do not approach him and dial 999 straight away. He may still be in possession of a weapon.”
DS Hall continued: “Our enquires will continue over the coming days to ascertain the full circumstances of what happened but I would also like to take this opportunity to appeal to anyone who was in the area around Ashlyn Close from around lunchtime on Tuesday until 7pm, and believes they may have seen anything that could assist the investigation, to contact us.
“This incident will of course be of concern to local residents. Officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team will be in the area today so please do speak to them if you need to.”
