Kyle Clifford, 26, was found guilty yesterday of raping Louise Hunt, 25, before shooting her dead with a crossbow after she ended their 18-month relationship.

A court heard that he was “fuelled by misogyny” as he stormed into the family home of BBC racing commentator John Hunt and used a 10-inch butcher's knife to stab Louise's mum Carol, 61, to death before holding his former partner hostage for around 90 minutes of a four-hour onslaught.

Clifford had deceived Carol to gain entry to the house on a quiet cul-de-sac in Bushey, Hertfordshire, claiming that he wanted to return some of Louise’s possessions.

Once inside the monster attacked the mum of three, then collected a crossbow from under a blanket in his car and waited in the house for Louise, who was inside a unit in the garden where she ran a dog grooming business.

After binding and gagging her, the unemployed Army drop-out raped her before murdering her with a crossbow.

He then used the same weapon to kill her older sister Hannah, 28, when she returned home from work on July 9 last year.

Hannah managed to make a 999 call while injured and Clifford was arrested 20 hours later at Lavender Hill Cemetery in Enfield, North London, following a manhunt.

Prosecutors claimed the “violent misogyny promoted” by former kickboxer Tate, 38, “fuelled” Clifford’s murderous attacks.

The killer had also searched for podcasts of Tate.

Prosecutor Alison Morgan KC told the rape trial at Cambridge Crown Court: “It’s misogynistic. Trying to control Louise Hunt in the context of a final act of spite.

“You can see how the mind was working.”
