ARMED police and paramedics have rushed into a cemetery where searches for crossbow killer suspect Kyle Clifford are centred.
Dozens of officers have entered the graveyard in Hilly Fields in Enfield, North London, this afternoon as the major manhunt continues – with an ambulance seen leaving with sirens blaring.
It comes after a BBC star’s wife and two daughters were allegedly murdered in Bushey, Hertfordshire.
Carol Hunt, 61 – the wife of BBC racing commentator John Hunt – and their daughters Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28, were found dead inside their home last night.

Rae Cresswell, 26, who took footage this afternoon from inside the graveyard, told The Sun: “I was sat in the cemetery and saw the police come around.
“I was a bit worried if I should move.
“An armed police officer asked if I’d seen the news about the crossbow and asked if I would like to move.
“Eventually I said I would just to save them the stress but I didn’t really feel unsafe.
“Obviously if they have caught him it’s good, nobody wants someone like that on the loose.”
“It’s probably shaken up the locals quite a lot.”
He went on to describe suspect Clifford as a “local lad”, adding: “His family are well known around here and have had quite a lot of incidents with the police.”
Footage has emerged today showing a man coming out of an alleyway next to the property dressed all in black and carrying what appears to be a crossbow and a bag cops fear could be a cache of further weapons.
The man in the footage then climbs into a black Seat – the same car understood to have been found abandoned earlier today.
That discovery led cops to Enfield where armed officers were searching for the suspect.
What we know so far…
A full-size crossbow could shoot bolts accurately up to 250ft – raising the terrifying prospect victims may not even see their shooter before being hit.
In the clip – the man, believed to be Kyle Clifford – climbs into the black car and waits for 18 seconds before driving away West-bound on Bushey Grove Road.
The road is directly connected to the murder scene on Ashlyn Close by a pedestrian footpath.
BBC Five Live racing commentator Hunt had been working at Lingfield Park Racecourse in Surrey yesterday before returning home in the evening to discover the horror that had unfolded, it is understood.
MailOnline reports Clifford was the ex-boyfriend of one of Hunt’s daughters.
The Sun revealed earlier the 26-year-old had served briefly in the Armed Forces before the “targeted” attack last night.
Clifford was a trooper – the equivalent to a private – in the Queen’s Dragoon Guards.

A former boss from early in his career said the murder suspect dropped out soon after passing out.
Dramatic footage obtained exclusively by The Sun this afternoon showed cops storming a home near the cemetery in the hunt for the suspect.
Two helicopters were spotted circling the Hilly Fields area as armed police stormed a home.
One officer can be heard screaming: “Armed Police, come to the door and raise your hands” as cops barrage through the front of the property.
It is unclear who or what cops discovered in the home but at least two officers are still at the scene of the raid.
In a press conference at 12.30pm Hertfordshire Police said they were still hunting for the suspect.
The force confirmed Clifford, who is from Enfield, may still be armed and urged anyone who sees him to call 999 immediately.
Appealing directly to Clifford today, Detective Superintendent Rob Hall said: “Kyle, if you are seeing or hearing this please make contact with police via 999.”
It comes after horrified neighbours told of hearing screams last night.
Francis Turner told The Sun: “My husband and I were watching the football when we heard sirens and shouting. There were around 30 policemen outside.
“There were armed police. They came and knocked on our door and told us to stay inside and keep our doors shut.
“My heart goes out to them. I feel very sad for the family, my heart goes out to them.”
One neighbour, who didn’t want to be named, said they heard screaming before “at least 16 police cars” swooped on the scene.
Shocked neighbours said Louise ran a dog grooming business called Groom and Glow from the detached house in a cul-de-sac.
