Police search for man after three women killed in Bushey

Police have launched a search for a man who is wanted in connection with the deaths of three women in Bushey, Hertfordshire police said.

Police have been searching throughout the night for 26-year-old Kyle Clifford from the Enfield area, who is wanted in connection with the incidents.

Det Supt Rob Hall, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire major crime unit, said: “This is an incredibly difficult incident for the victims’ family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with what has happened.

“Whilst we are still in the early stages of this investigation, we are actively seeking Kyle Clifford who we believe could be in the areas of Hertfordshire or north London.

“Given the serious nature of the incident, I would ask anyone who knows where he is to contact police immediately. If you believe you see him, please do not approach him and dial 999 straight away. He may still be in possession of a weapon.

“Our inquires will continue over the coming days to ascertain the full circumstances of what happened but I would also like to take this opportunity appeal to anyone who was in the area around Ashlyn Close from around lunchtime on Tuesday until 7pm, and believes they may have seen anything that could assist the investigation, to contact us.”

He added: “This incident will of course be of concern to local residents. Officers from the neighbourhood policing team will be in the area today so please do speak to them if you need to.”
