Man wanted in connection with Bushey triple murder found
Kyle Clifford, 26, is receiving medical treatment after they were found in the Enfield area of London
A man wanted in connection with a triple murder in Bushey, has been found in North London.
Kyle Clifford, 26, was located in the Enfield area this afternoon (Wednesday 10 July) after an extensive search by police.
He is currently receiving medical treatment for injuries, though no shots were fired by police during his apprehension.
Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit stated, “This continues to be an incredibly difficult time for the victims’ family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with what has happened."
“This investigation is moving at pace and formal identification of the victims is yet to take place. The premature naming of potential victims has caused great upset to the family when they should’ve been given the space to come to terms with their sudden loss.
"Following extensive enquiries, the suspect has been located and nobody else is being sought in connection with the investigation at this time," Jenkins said. "We have had an overwhelming number of calls and would like to express our gratitude to the members of the public who have contacted us. We would still appeal for anyone with information or footage to please contact police directly and refrain from commenting on social media as this could affect the progress of the case."
An information portal has been established for the public to submit any information, photos, or video footage that might assist in the investigation.
“This incident will of course be of concern to local residents. Additional local officers will be in the area today, so please do speak to them if you need to,” Jenkins added.
