Following a triple murder, Britain's new government says it will 'swiftly consider' the findings of a review into laws on crossbow ownership.
London — The U.K. government will consider introducing stricter laws on crossbow ownership after three women were killed with one of the weapons in England on Wednesday. Carol Hunt, 61, and her daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, the family of BBC sports broadcaster John Hunt, were fatally attacked in their home northwest of London on Tuesday. Following an hours-long manhunt, police found 26-year-old suspect Kyle Clifford in a cemetery in north London.
' Jarvis said it was 'entirely reasonable' to consider changing the current laws on ownership of crossbows in the U.K.Under those regulations, a person aged 18 or over can legally buy and own a crossbow, and there is no licensing or registration requirement. They are available for purchase online for as little as £50, or about $64, and have been subject to increased public scrutiny after being used in several high-profile crimes in recent years.
