Manhunt launched after death of three injured women in Bushey

A manhunt was launched following the death of three women who were found seriously injured in a house.

Officers were called to Ashlyn Close, Bushey, Hertfordshire, shortly before 7pm BST on Tuesday and found three women with serious injuries. They all died at the scene.

Hertfordshire Police spent the night searching for 26-year-old Kyle Clifford, from Enfield, north London, who is believed to be in Hertfordshire or north London.

Det Supt Rob Hall, of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Serious Crime Unit, appealed for anyone who knows his whereabouts to contact police immediately.

Police said there was likely a connection between the three victims and asked that their privacy be respected.

Det Supt Hall said: “We are still in the early stages of this investigation and are already actively searching for Kyle Clifford, who we believe may be in the Hertfordshire area or north London.”

“Given the seriousness of the incident, I ask anyone who knows where he is to contact the police immediately.

“If you think you see him, please do not approach him and call 999 immediately. He may still be in possession of a weapon.”

He also asked anyone who was in the Ashlyn Close area between midday and 7pm on Tuesday and who might be able to provide information to assist the investigation to come forward.
