The older brother of Kyle Clifford, suspect in the triple murder of John Hunt’s wife and daughters, is already in prison for murder.
Bradley Clifford, of Rendlesham Road, Enfield, was found guilty of murder and the attempted grievous bodily harm with intent against a 19-year-old man in May 2018.
The now 30-year-old was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 23 years for murder and seven years for the attack on Mr Francis, to run concurrently.

In the early hours of August 5, 2017, he had drunkenly chased a scooter at nearly double the speed limit on the wrong side of the road after a bottle was thrown at his prized Mustang car, slightly damaging it.
Clifford ploughed into Jahshua Francis, 19, and his pillion passenger Sobhan Khan, 18, following the relentless pursuit through Enfield.
Mr Khan was sent flying into the air, landing by a lamp-post in the street, mortally injured.
When Clifford appeared in court, the Old Bailey heard that he then got out and continued the attack, shouting at the teenager, saying he “deserved” it and punching him hard nine times.
It was “pure chance” that the victim’s friend, Mr Francis, was not badly hurt in the crash, jurors were told.
Before the killing, Clifford had threatened to put a knife down the throats and “rain hell” on anyone who interfered with his beloved Mustang in a WhatsApp message to his girlfriend.
His younger brother, Kyle, was wanted by police yesterday after Carol Hunt, 61, who was married to the racing presenter John Hunt, and two of their daughters Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28, were found seriously injured at a home in Ashlyn Close on Tuesday (July 9).
Herts Police and the East of England Ambulance Service were called just before 7pm, but a spokesperson confirmed that “despite their best efforts” all three victims died at the scene.
Following the wide-ranging manhunt, involving police helicopters, dogs, and armed units, Herts Police announced that Kyle Clifford, 26, was found injured in the Enfield area yesterday afternoon (July 10) and taken to hospital.
