A man suspected of killing two sisters and their mother in a crossbow attack remains in serious condition at a London hospital, according to British police. The tragic incident, which occurred in Bushey, northeast of the capital, has left a community in grief and shock.

Tributes have poured in for the three women—Carol Hunt, 61, and her daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25—who were found gravely injured at their home on Tuesday evening. Efforts by police and ambulance crews to save them were unsuccessful, and all three were pronounced dead at the scene.

The family is related to BBC radio's horse racing commentator John Hunt, whose community and colleagues have expressed deep sorrow and support. The suspect, Kyle Clifford, 26, was apprehended near his home in Enfield and is under medical care with undisclosed injuries. The investigation continues as police search related properties and review crossbow ownership laws in the UK.
