"Crime of passion"? That's when something happens suddenly, not when someone shows up with a crossbow. Let's not downplay what was surely a planned murder.

DON'T refer to this as a 'domestic' ffs!!!! Or a 'crime of passion'. It's murder. Cold, blooded murder.

This is cold blooded murder of 3 women. Do not try & downgrade what he has done

STOP! do not say CRIME OF PASSION and DOMESTIC any longer.... this is MURDER plain and simple.

Degusting crime . Theses poor ladies so sad . No excuses . Shocking.

Not domestic. Cold blooded premeditated murder

ITS MURDER.... NOT "A DOMESTIC". It downplays the horrific MASSACRE of 3 women by a HORRIFIC MASS MURDERER!

NOT A CRIME OF PASSION.It’s murder from a so called man who couldn’t have what he wanted.

Not only has the husband had his world turned upside down, by losing his wife and his 2 daughters. But his only surviving daughter has lost her mother and , 2 sisters. My deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victims. But that family is truly.been torne apart.

Premeditated murder not domestic by any means

Rarely such a thing as a ‘crime of passion’. These are crimes of a controlling violent individual against the vulnerable

Heart felt sympathy for John Hunt and those devastated by this heinous crime .

A whole barrel of rotten apples,I’m going to wait for the full story to come out. It’s not rare that we later find out that the police ignored multiple cry’s for help from the victims of domestic violence

Wait til he claims diminished responsibility for mental health problems.

You need to be very careful with your language.... describing this as a "domestic" and a "crime of passion" just sounds like you are diminishing what he did, almost blaming the victims.

The crossbow didn't commit these horrendous murders,the perpetrator did 🤦

Look how quickly he was caught compared the the acid attacker, who never was.

He was kicked out for EXTREME VIEWS the girl knows what he is

1 or 2 bad apples in the police force?that's a ridiculous statement

As someone who shoots a crossbow as a hobby at archery clubs this is bad news.

Can Women and Children have a Right To Self Defence, as Government have caused this 🤔

piss off with your crime of passion that is not a crime of passion have you any idea how long it takes to load a crossbow? it only shoots one bolt at a time then you have to pull hartd to cock it unless you are using a cocking rope it is not the easiest & it definately is not quick to do & then you have to aim, the death caused by a crossbow type weapon would be that the victims most likely bled out but he would have hgad to use a broad head arrow tip not just the bolt. NO CROSSBOWS SHOULD NOT BE BANNED JUST BECAUSE OF ONE LONE NUTTER

It’s not crime of passion it’s sharia law

Death Penalty, Death Penalty, when are we going to bring back the Death Penalty

He tied them up and took a weapon and bolted them like animals this was aggravated premeditated murders

They'll be calling it an "honour killing" next. They came out with the name early because he sounded British. Oooops.

What will leave a bitter taste in the mouth is that countries such as England and Canada, where I live, countries which do not have the death penalty, will imprison these kind of blokes at His Majesty's pleasure indefinitely. He will be fed, housed, clothed at the tax-payers expense. He will be able to get a university education for free. Perhaps, he will be able to get married in prison, have conjugal visits, and he'll even be able to have children, as some convicted criminals have been able to do. There will be prisoner's rights groups which will bleat about the rights of murderers and rapists. While the rights of victims will fall on deaf ears. Domestic violence is at epidemic proportions. How many women and children have to die at the hands of their abusers?

Premeditated murder.

PLEASE don't call this a crime of passion. He was clearly unstable, hence why poor Lucy finished with him. In my experience, guys like him are EXTREMELY dangerous when you leave. I left. Was stalked without my knowledge for 8 months. He burst into my new home, set me on fire, then threw me out a window. I live with the scars. So will you STOP saying there must have been some kind of disagreement. Some people are born evil.

This is a planned murder, not a domestic incident. The man is a murderer plain and simple.

Again someone from the Middle East

Deport

And how many people can you kill with a car! It's not the crossbow it's the idiot behind it. Where do you make the line hammers screwdrivers kitchen knives.

Now these fake news reporters are blaming crossbows.Why don't they desribe the color and place of birth of the murderer or the mental state of him rather than focusing completely on the weapon ?

The DCI obviously doesn’t know the definition of a firearm if he believes crossbows should be treated as firearms.

When will these Muslims learn no means no. Leave our girls alone.

Digging his own grave

Another middle eastern immigrant does not showing British values

What's with the dude's hair? That's criminal too......

So now crossbows are going to be banned. Illogical response as always.

HOW DARE YOU!!! SHAME ON YOU TO SAY..... CRIME OF PASSION

There he goes, crossbow ban.

Looks like Muslim to me, looks Middle Eastern if he’s pure British and white I’m black and jamican

When I heard it on the news, I knew it was a relationship broken up. It is sad that these pretty boys feel that they owned women. Real shame.

if his daughter had higher standards this could have been avoided

Usual suspect, Turkish Muslim..

How very Islamic to call this cowardly murder of 3 women - " a murder of passion". Britain is lost.

The trauma and devastation this has caused is unbelievable. I really feel for the family and loved ones now dealing with this. I can only think of them and these ladies.

No doubt they'll free him on diminished responsibility, poor little lamb.

Congratulations to the metropolitan police force for keeping our streets safe

ahh so banning crossbows now. What a clown this man is

My deepest condolences to the husband and daughter who must be completely devastated and broken.

Whole life order incoming

Some mother and father proper F'd up somewhere, eh? Two sons that are murderers? What the F happened in your household ffs? One is enough! But two? Ffs!!!

Brother also a murderer wow these parents have a lot to answer for ! Obviously badly raised to have not one but 2 bad apples

Old Kier will probably just give him twenty minutes community service.

Who is he? Before we call for the ban of anything.

6:00 - next he is going to take our kitchen knives away 😂.

Guilty of a Pudding Basin Haircut.✂️

How many people get killed by crossbow every year? I doubt there is a need to ban crossbows.

I have a feeling that a full life sentence may well be on the cards...if he's found guilty.

Crime of passion is not a defence as it is in France

I wonder how theBBC will respond to this attack on a Colleague's Family.

Not everyone that has a crossbow is a murderer just the same as not everyone aith a gun ,its the person not the weapons, and the coverment has left its people defenceless for these typs off deranged individuals not a good thing imo ....

HIS BROTHER MURDERED SOMEONE 6 YRS AGO ! UNREAL

How does his Mother and John and their families cope with this ?…..

I read that Carol Hunt and her two daughters were tied up before being shot with a crossbow. If so, this is an execution. Too bad they don't the the death penalty in the UK.

What a nightmare. I didn’t know anything about the storm. Stay safe and all that carry on.

Now his cought. I hope the judge is not a woke cretting. who gives him a light sentance and that muppet starmer does not reduce his sentance by half. but anything is possible in this totally stupid country.

NOT "crime of passion" at all.. Cold nasty premeditated murder. Crimes of Passion do not take a crossbow along, do not tie up victims so they can attack with "implements"..

He was seen on CCTV loading a 3ft cross bow into his car

Yep it's the crossbow that's the problem 🙄. Just to clarify to all those that think weapons are the problem they are not. People are the problem.

That's like saying we should not have knives. In our society! Why take CB away from people who use them lawfully for sport . Even the Olympics

is he a revert. its pretty savage to do that to 3 women.

This reporting is an absolute disgrace. Not an ounce of compassion in the tone or content

Clifford an English name, but he and his psycho brother look distinctly foreign, Arab, most likely. Says a lot!

More deaths caused by e scooters than crossbows. Need to ban those first eh ;)

Domestic! Crime of passion!!! Codswallop! It was cold-blooded murder. Those poor ladies and the poor husband and father. Absolutely horrific.

Curiously, this is the third or fourth reported attack using a crossbow - a weapon that is currently unlicensed and unrestricted and a threat to the Governments monopoly on violence against the public. It would be crass to imply this was anything other than a tragedy of immense proportion but it's still as a result of the PERSON rather than the tool they used. I fully expect crossbows to be illegal by the end of this year.

Imo the Death Penalty should be reintroduced for horrendous crimes like this where guilt is 100% certain. It should also be carried out swiftly within a month of conviction. RIP.

I feel for the family. My heart goes out to u. ❤

this crime was in my area. the cemetery he was found in is 5 minutes away from me. it’s not just the poor women, every school has been in lockdown. everything was shut down and everyone was isolated. This is just a sick and selfish deed.

I worked in high risk domestic abuse as a detective for years . The real truth is that restraining orders and behaviour orders are pretty ineffectual to prevent these types of crimes . I agree with the vast majority of women making it clear it isn’t a crime of passion or just another domestic . It’s an act of pure evil and perpetrated by an evil individual worth thoughts only for themselves . Narcissistic personality disorder and sociopathic tendencies are evident in nearly every murder of this kind . There has to be new legislation to force people to relocate to the far end of the country away from the victim and to never contact them again . A breach of that would result in a minimum of 10 years imprisonment. They repeat it again and they are never released . We do this with compulsive arsonists , why not people with histories of abusive behaviour in relationships.

Wonder if he is on any anti depressants ? so many of these killers are on such drugs but it is never mentioned, just guns, or in this case a crossbow. RIP to the victims.

No domestic violence please stop this is becoming a way of life beautiful family destroyed, stop please this mass violence against women needs to stop

The police are normal people just doing their job. 🤜🤛

'Police intelligence'...Maybe it was the video of him leaving with a crossbow in his hands.

This guys wearing EYELINER he’s Turkish Iranian Afghan Israeli or something middle eastern if he’s white british true british I’m jamican and black even tho I’m white and English

Waiting while he reloaded a crossbow. Terrifying

His brother is also in jail for murder, no doubt of middle east background, another of thise patterns we aint suppose to notice

Condolences to loved ones devastating news

Guns don't kill people. People Kill people. If it wasn't a crossbow it would have been a knife. I'm sorry for the family's loss. Evil people out there

Yeah, the police have shot him dead in Hilly Fields Cemetery

An Abdool

No one should have a crossbow. No need.

So sad ' Family needs privacy and prayers

And in case you didn't solidify it from those who have already commented, let me repeat it again: THIS IS NOT A CRIME OF PASSION! THIS IS A DELIBERATE MURDER!

Starmer will free him in a year or 2 to make room for people making hurty tweets

Something VERY odd going on.

What a animal my deepest sympathy to the hunt family appalling
