Bushey attack: Racing commentator's wife died from stab wounds and daughters died from crossbow bolts - inquest
The wife of a Sky and BBC racing broadcaster died from stab wounds and their two daughters died from crossbow bolt injuries, an inquest has heard.
Carol Hunt, who was married to racing commentator John Hunt, and two of their daughters, Louise and Hannah, were found fatally injured at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on 10 July.
The inquest, at Hertfordshire Coroner's Court, heard Hannah had texted someone telling them she had been "tied up" at the family home.
She was asking for help in calling the police, saying the person responsible was at the house.
Ms Hunt then managed to call police, reporting that she, her mother and her sister had been shot.
She was able to give her address. Then the call cut out, the hearing was told.
When officers arrived, they found Hannah alive in the main doorway of the home, with a crossbow bolt still in her chest, senior coroner for Hertfordshire Geoffrey Sullivan was told.
The coroner then adjourned the inquest to allow any criminal proceedings to take place.
Police have still not been able to question suspect Kyle Clifford after he was arrested on suspicion of killing the three women.
Following a manhunt, Clifford was found just under 24 hours later with what were thought to be self-inflicted injuries in the Hilly Fields area of Enfield, north London.
John Hunt and his third daughter Amy previously said in a statement: "The devastation that we are experiencing cannot be put into words.
"We would like to thank people for their kind messages and for the support we have received in recent days. These have provided great comfort to us for which we are very grateful."
