LONDON (AP) — British police say a man suspected of killing two sisters and their mother in a crossbow attack is in a “serious condition” at a London hospital. Officers continued to carry out further searches of properties. Tributes poured in Thursday for the three women who were found with serious injuries at their home in the quiet residential neighborhood of Bushey, northeast of the capital, on Tuesday. Police and ambulance crews tried to save Carol Hunt, 61, and her daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, but they were pronounced dead at the scene. The women were the family of BBC radio’s horse racing commentator John Hunt. The killings prompted a major manhunt that led to the capture of the suspect, Kyle Clifford, on Wednesday in a cemetery.
