BUSHEY murder suspect Kyle Clifford has been captured after an extensive manhunt.
His older brother Bradley Clifford is serving time in jail. Here’s what we know about his crime and prison sentence.
Who is Bradley Clifford?
Bradley Clifford is a convicted criminal from Enfield in North London.
He is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence and is not eligible for parole until 2041.
The 30-year-old is the older brother of 26-year old Bushey murder suspect Kyle Clifford.
Kyle was detained by cops over the deaths of BBC Five Live’s John Hunt’s wife and two daughters in Bushey, Hertfordshire.
The three women – aged 25, 28, and 61 – were found with serious injuries at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, at around 7pm on July 9, 2024.
The trio tragically died at the scene despite the best efforts of paramedics.
Hunt’s youngest daughter Louise was Kyle’s ex-girlfriend.
Following an extensive manhunt and police operation Kyle was found by armed police.
He was seen being bundled into the back of an ambulance on the afternoon of July 10, 2024, after armed police and paramedics swooped on a cemetery in Hilly Fields in Enfield.
What was Bradley Clifford convicted of?
In 2018, Bradley Clifford was convicted of murder and attempted GBH with intent.
He was found guilty of deliberately mowing down a moped after his “prized” Ford Mustang was damaged.
A court heard how Bradley, who was 23 at the time, chased Soban Khan, 18, and Jahshua Francis, 19, after they struck his car with a bottle.
Bradley Clifford pursued the moped… not to apprehend the two people on it, but to mow them down for daring to damage his prized vehicle.
Prosecutor Aftab Jafferjee QC
The jury heard how he became “enraged” when his high-performance Ford Mustang EcoBoost’s wing mirror was broken in the early hours of August 5, 2017.
He then began a “rapid, brutal and unrelenting” pursuit through the streets of Enfield, the court was told.
Prosecutor Aftab Jafferjee QC said Bradley “pursued the moped… not to apprehend the two people on it, but to mow them down for daring to damage his prized vehicle”.
Khan and Francis tried to escape as they drove the moped into oncoming traffic and mounted a pavement, but were mowed down by Bradley.
They were both flung into the air by the collision.
Bradley then beat Khan as he lay “defenceless and fatally injured” on the ground after his moped became tangled with the car.
Francis escaped “somewhat miraculously” with minor injuries,the prosecution said.
Bradley was jailed for life in May 2018, with the judge telling him he would have to serve at least 23 years before he would be eligible to apply for parole – this will be in 2041.
