Kyle Clifford manhunt update: Murder suspect on the loose may have crossbow; police give more details of ‘targeted incident’ in Bushey | UK news

A local resident recalled hearing screams coming from a house where three women had died before “absolute chaos” broke out when police arrived at the scene.

The 46-year-old, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she heard something that sounded like “children, someone is screaming” between 6:30 and 7 p.m. last night.

She said it then became “more shrill.”

“I thought, ‘that’s definitely a woman screaming,’ and within 15 minutes it was total chaos,” the woman said.

She described how armed police shouted at residents to stay in their homes and “virtually locked us in a curfew” before ambulances, helicopters and more than a dozen other police cars arrived on the scene.

“It’s really, really distressing to think that this happened so close to home and none of us knew about it and none of us could help,” she said.

“I think it’s just absolutely traumatic for the family involved, for everyone.”
