A manhunt is underway on Wednesday following the deaths of three women after they were found seriously injured at a residence in Hertfordshire, southeastern England. Hertfordshire police were called to a property in the town of Bushey just before 7 p.m. BST (1800 GMT) on Tuesday, where they discovered the three women with severe injuries. All three succumbed to their injuries at the scene. The Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit has identified Kyle Clifford, 26, from Enfield, north London, as a person of interest in this case. Clifford is believed to be in either the Hertfordshire or north London areas, prompting an extensive search effort by law enforcement.
Rob Hall, detective superintendent at the unit, said in a statement: "This is an incredibly difficult incident for the victims’ family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with what has happened." "Whilst we are still in the early stages of this investigation, we are actively seeking Kyle Clifford," he added. Stressing the seriousness of the situation, he urged: "Given the serious nature of the incident, I would ask anyone who knows where he is to contact police immediately. If you believe you see him, please do not approach him and dial 999 straight away. He may still be in possession of a weapon."
