A leading BBC Sport journalist has sent a touching message to colleague John Hunt after his wife and two daughters were murdered on Tuesday night. Carol Hunt, 61, Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28, were killed in a crossbow attack at a house in Ashlyn Close, in Bushey, Hertfordshire.
Kyle Clifford, 26, has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of murder. He is in hospital in a serious condition after he was found injured at a cemetery in Enfield on Wednesday.
And as England prepare to face Spain in the final of Euro 2024 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin tonight, former BBC Radio Merseyside commentator Gary Flintoff, who now works for BBC Radio Live, sent a heartfelt message to his colleague.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “This is a special day for the @5liveSport football team. However, our friend and colleague @HuntyCaller and his daughter Amy remain in our thoughts and in our hearts. John is a massive football fan and should have enjoyed this day. Sending our love to both him and Amy.”
The racing commentator, along with his other daughter Amy, released a statement on Saturday. They said they would now need space to come to terms with what had happened and 'start the grieving process'.
"The devastation that we are experiencing cannot be put into words," the statement read. "We would like to thank people for their kind messages and for the support we have received in recent days.
"These have provided great comfort to us for which we are very grateful. As you can imagine, this is an extremely difficult time for us, and we need time and space to come to terms with what has happened and start the grieving process.
"While this is happening, we would ask that our privacy and that of our wider family and relations be respected at this time. Thank you."
In a separate statement read to Sky Sports Racing viewers by his colleague Matt Chapman, Mr Hunt paid tribute to his 'magnificently inspirational' daughter, Amy.
He said: "Notwithstanding the horrid evil that's swept through our lives, wrecking devastation on an unimaginable scale, the counter to that has been the breathtaking messages of support, some of which are still to be read.
"Amy, my eldest daughter, has been magnificently inspirational with her control and support for me, which I am trying, trying so hard to replicate. Every message has felt so important, the same as a reassuring hug."
