Kyle Clifford dodges sentencing for double murder

Kyle Clifford, known as the 'Crossbow Killer,' was sentenced to three whole-life tariffs for murdering Louise Hunt and her sister Hannah. He avoided hearing the emotional victim impact statement from John Hunt, the husband and father of the victims. Clifford, who fatally stabbed Louise and killed Hannah with a crossbow, was not present for the reading of the statement. The judge decided against bringing him to the courtroom to avoid potential disruptions. This decision has raised concerns about offenders avoiding accountability during sentencing. Other high-profile criminals have also been allowed to skip their sentencing hearings, prompting discussions about the implications of such choices.
