Kyle Clifford Found Guilty of Triple Murder, Linked to Andrew Tate's Misogynistic Influence
  • Kyle Clifford was found guilty of the rape and murder of his ex-girlfriend, Louise Hunt, along with two other women, in Bushey, northwest of London.

  • Despite denying the charges of rape against Louise Hunt, a jury at Cambridge Crown Court convicted Clifford based on compelling evidence.

  • The brutal attack occurred on July 9, 2024, involving a crossbow and a knife, resulting in the deaths of Louise Hunt, 25, her sister Hannah Hunt, 28, and their mother Carol Hunt, 61.

  • Clifford meticulously planned the attack for 13 days, purchasing weapons and deceiving the victims to gain access to their home.

  • After killing Carol Hunt, Clifford waited an hour before tying up, raping, and then shooting Louise with a crossbow.

  • Prosecutors argued that Clifford's actions were influenced by the violent misogyny promoted by Andrew Tate, as he had searched for Tate's podcasts shortly before the murders.

  • Judge Joel Bennathan acknowledged the prejudicial nature of evidence regarding Clifford's obsession with Tate, describing him as 'almost a poster boy for misogynists'.

  • The prosecution characterized Clifford's actions as a 'violent, sexual act of spite', motivated by rage after Louise ended their 18-month relationship.

  • The jury took approximately 45 minutes to reach a verdict against Clifford, reflecting the strength of the evidence presented.

  • Justice Bennathan described Clifford's crimes as 'dreadful' and 'almost unspeakable', with sentencing scheduled for March 11, 2025.

  • Experts have linked Tate's influence on young men to a rise in violence against women, which has been declared a national emergency in the UK.

  • Law enforcement officials, including Deputy Chief Constable Maggie Blyth, have expressed concerns about the radicalization of young boys by figures like Tate.
