One of the women who died in what is thought to have been a crossbow attack had a boyfriend who paid tribute to her after her death.

Alex Klein, a makeup artist, called Hannah Hunt, 28, “the love of my life” and shared pictures of the two of them on Instagram.

It is said that an ex-soldier shot Hannah, her sister Louise, 28, and her mother Carol, 61, on Tuesday in Hertfordshire.

The 26-year-old suspect Kyle Clifford was hurt during the search for the alleged killer on Wednesday and is now in the hospital.

After the death, Mr. Klein wrote a touching tribute online: “RIP the love of my life, I will never forget you, stolen from me too soon.”

He added, “The most wonderful thing in my life.” Forever, my brave queen. I hope we see each other again… Hi Hansy, I love you.

He posted a bunch of pictures of them, like one of them kissing in the pool and another of them at an event for investors.

John Hunt was a racing commentator on BBC 5 Live. His daughters were Hannah and Louise.
