Quick-fix measures will not stop men intent on harming women, campaigners warn following crossbow murders
Three candles burn as members of the public attend a morning service and vigil at St James's church in Bushey, following the deaths of Carol Hunt, 61, the wife of BBC Five Live racing commentator John Hunt, and two of their daughters, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, who were killed in a crossbow attack at their home, on Tuesday in Bushey, Hertfordshire, July 11, 2024

CAMPAIGNERS stressed today the need to tackle misogynistic culture as a root cause of violence against women and cautioned against quick fixes. 

It comes after a mother and her two daughters were killed at their home in Hertfordshire on Tuesday.

Kyle Clifford was arrested on suspicion of murdering Carol Hunt, wife of BBC sports commentator John Hunt, and their two daughters, Hannah and Louise, with a crossbow.
