My wife and daughters left behind a legacy of love: John Hunt

BBC racing commentator John Hunt, whose wife and two of his daughters were murdered last July, describes in an emotional first interview the legacy of love they left behind. It was this, John and his daughter Amy tell the BBC that had helped sustain them through their trauma and grief.

Carol, Louise and Hannah remained such a constant presence in their lives that he still talks to them every day, almost a year on from their deaths, John says. "From the moment I wake up, I say good morning to each of them," he says.

"Sometimes I say out loud to Hannah and Louise, 'girls, sorry I can't be with you, I'm with your mum at the moment'. As I close my eyes at night, I chat to them as well. They're very close to me all the time."John and Amy say they took the decision to talk publicly now because they did not want their loved ones to be defined by their deaths. They also feel much of the initial reporting after the murders was inaccurate and it added to their pain.

They've also shared previously unseen family photos with the BBC.

Kyle Clifford fatally stabbed 61-year-old Carol, raped his former partner, Louise, 25, then used a crossbow to shoot both her and her sister Hannah., 28 - all at their family home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, in July last year.

Amy says the minute Clifford left their home on the day of the incident, "my mum, Hannah and Louise became a statistic. They became victims of Kyle Clifford."

"I want to breathe life back into my mum, Hannah and Louise as fully-rounded people."

Amy and John tell the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire they also strongly reject reports there were clear signs of abuse by Clifford during his relationship with Louise.

"Did we have any indication that this man was capable of stabbing my mother, of tying Louise up, of raping Louise, of shooting Louise and shooting Hannah? Absolutely not," says Amy.
