'You are a monster' Victims' family address Clifford at sentencing

John Hunt (husband of Carol Hunt and father of Louise and Hannah) "Do I really need to detail the impact of having three-quarters of my family murdered?" asked Hunt, addressing Kyle Clifford directly.

"But then I realised that this was my final opportunity to say what I want to say to you specifically, Kyle, words that will also be directed to your family who will carry guilt forward for the rest of their lives; I know you valued them so poorly from all the conversations we had, Kyle, but I suppose even they must be damaged by what you have done.

"I also want to confirm to the world the truth, especially how Louise conducted herself within a textbook, mature breakup on her part, understanding the conflict of saying goodbye to someone she once loved but not allowing those memories to cloud her certain knowledge that you simply failed to be the person she needed. You failed.

"Unlike you, Kyle, at every step of their lives they made the correct choices to improve themselves as people; Louise enjoyed more success and fulfilment in one morning than you achieved in your entire miserable life. We all offered you kindness, especially Carol. She had picked up on your personal inadequacies right from the start. She sensed your immaturity but always knew Louise would work things out.

"Carol still displayed her compassion right up until the moment she answered the door to you on 9 July.
