Following an overnight manhunt, British police Wednesday afternoon found the man suspected of killing three women related to a BBC commentator in an attack involving a crossbow.

Hertfordshire police were called Tuesday evening to a property in Bushey, more than an hour northwest of London, a spokesperson said at a Wednesday morning press conference. Upon arrival, they found three women seriously injured. Officials administered emergency aid, but the women, aged 61, 28 and 25, died at the scene, police said.

The BBC identified the victims as Carol Hunt, wife of BBC Racing radio commentator John Hunt, and two of their daughters.

Wednesday morning, police were still looking for Kyle Clifford, 26, in connection to the killings. Police called the triple murder a “targeted incident” involving a crossbow, though other weapons may have also been used.

By Wednesday afternoon, police traced Clifford to a location in North London, according to a news release. Police said he was found with injuries, though no shots were fired by police, and he is receiving medical treatment.

Police believe the victims knew Clifford.

“Following extensive enquiries, the suspect has been located and nobody else is being sought in connection with the investigation at this time,” Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins said in the release.
