BBC racing commentator John Hunt has announced a silent auction to raise funds for causes close to his wife and two daughters, who were murdered in a crossbow attack last year. Carol, 61, Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were killed at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, in July 2024.
Kyle Clifford, Louise's ex-boyfriend, was jailed for life in March 2025 for the murders. He fatally stabbed Carol, raped Louise, and used a crossbow to kill both sisters. John and his surviving daughter Amy have established the Hunt Family Fund to support charities that help and inspire young women.
The online silent auction, which went live on Wednesday, features over 25 items, including behind-the-scenes experiences at Match of the Day and Sky's Monday Night Football, a guided tour of Michael Owen's racing stables, an England Six Nations hospitality package, and tickets to see England v New Zealand at Lord's with a visit to Test Match Special.
“This is a great way to provide support to a number of causes which would have been dear to Carol, Hannah and Louise and reflect the love, care and positivity they radiated to the world,” said John Hunt. “We're so grateful to all those who have donated prizes and hope as many people as possible will get involved in making generous bids.”
The auction ends on the evening of Thursday, December 11, 2025. Bids can be placed at www.bidaid.com/auction/HFF.
