Racing Commentator John Hunt returned to the airwaves three days after seeing the killer of his wife and two of his daughters sentenced to jail for the rest of his life.
Kyle Clifford presented a whole life order at the Cambridge Crown Court on Tuesday for the murder of his ex -mate Louise Hunt, her sister Hannah and their mother Carol with a crossbow and knife on July 9 last year.
The 26-year-old defendant refused to attend his sentencing and Mr. Hunt delivered a message to the killer in courtTo tell him hell will “roll out the red carpet for you”.
Mr. Hunt went back to BBC Radio 5 Live on Friday to cover the Cheltenham Festival.
The court proceedings were not mentioned during his introduction to the program.
Mr. Hunt held tears on Tuesday through his statement to the court and told Clifford: “The screams of hell, Kyle. I can hear them faint now. They’re going to roll out the red carpet for you.”
He described Clifford as a ‘psychopath’ and added: ‘The impact of what you did will be taken to my grave.’
Mr. Hunt also promised to “see what my future is”, as he said his daughter Hannah “gave me a second chance” by raising the alarm before her death.
He added: “Although I am badly damaged, I am absolutely determined to see what my future is surrounded by so many incredible people, and the chance to do so, I believe, my incredible Hansie (Hannah Hunt) was gifted to me.
“I really believe that if she failed to show such an incredible physical and spiritual power to raise the alarm after you, Kyle, fatally injured her, that I would have been your fourth victim that day.
“Hannah gave me a second chance, one she worked so hard to reach for me.”

Clifford became “furious” when Louise ended their 18 -month relationship, prosecutors said, which led him to plan the murders “carefully”.
He gained access to the family home by deceiving Carol Hunt before he stabbed her to death in a ‘cruel knife attack’.
After he was Ms. Hunt killed, he waited for an hour until Louise entered the house when he stopped, raped and killed her with a crossbow.
He then fatally shot Hannah Hunt as she returned to the property to the property in Bushey, Hertfordshire.
