Kyle Clifford: triple murderer and rapist

Summing up his powerful and emotional victim impact statement, John Hunt said:

"Whatever sentence you are about to receive, whatever misery lies ahead for you in the next 60 years, once your days on earth are done, on your dying day, there will be no release for you.

The screams of hell, Kyle. I can hear them faintly now. They are going to roll out the red carpet for you. At that point, when the person you could have been meets the person you are, you will realise your miserable fate will last for eternity."
 
Kyle Clifford’s barrister, Phil Bradley KC, has begun his mitigation by acknowledging the “appalling” nature of Clifford’s crimes and the “devastation” it has wrought on the Hunt family.

He is arguing against the judge imposing a whole life order, calling instead for a life sentence with a high minimum term. “This was utterly appalling conduct, but it was concentrated, one incident, and there was no spree that followed,” Bradley told Cambridge Crown court.

Seems fairly weak mitigation.
