A misogynistic culture at the root of violence against women and girls must be addressed, a domestic abuse charity has said, in the wake of the crossbow killings of a mother and her two daughters in their home.
Refuge said while it welcomed the Government’s urgent consideration of whether tougher crossbow laws are needed after the deaths, the danger from such crimes stems from the perpetrator rather than the tools they use.
The End Violence Against Women Coalition echoed this, warning that “quick-fix” measures such as banning a weapon would not stop men intent on harming women.
Triple-murder suspect Kyle Clifford is understood to have been the ex-partner of Louise Hunt.
The 25-year-old was found fatally injured with her sister Hannah, 28, and their mother, Carol Hunt, 61, at a house in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on Tuesday.
They are the wife and daughters of BBC 5 Live commentator John Hunt.
Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan discusses the story with former Met Police detective Peter Bleksley.
