Police are urgently seeking an armed and dangerous man wanted in connection with a gruesome triple murder that occurred in Bushey last night. The suspect, Kyle Clifford, 26, from Enfield, is being actively sought by police, who have warned the public not to approach him as he may be carrying a weapon.
Incident Details
Armed police were called to a property on Ashlyn Close in the Hertfordshire town just before 7 p.m. last night. Upon arrival, they discovered three women, believed to be related, with serious injuries. Despite the best efforts of emergency responders, all three women died at the scene.
Community Response
Local residents described the terrifying police response that descended on the quiet cul-de-sac in the aftermath. One resident reported, “There were 11 police cars, an armed response unit, 4 ambulances, and a fire engine. We’re not allowed to park on our driveway and have had to park around the corner. Whatever happened, it’s really bad, and everyone is shaken up.”
Dramatic video footage from the scene shows a mass of police cars parked along the road and two armed police officers standing guard.
Police Statement
Detective Superintendent Rob Hall from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit commented on the incident, stating: “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.
He continued, “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.”
Appeal for Information
Detective Superintendent Hall also appealed to the public for assistance, saying, “Our enquiries will continue over the coming days to ascertain the full circumstances of what happened. 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 7 p.m., and believes they may have seen anything that could assist the investigation, to contact us.
