He also pleaded guilty to carrying an offensive weapon and a false imprisonment offence involving Louise.

However, Clifford did deny raping Louise, and will stand trial for that alleged offence at Cambridge Crown Court on 3 March.

Clifford had previously denied murdering the three women who were the wife and daughters of BBC racing commentator John Hunt. But changed his plea today, appearing at the court via a video link.

On 9 July, Carol died of stab wounds, at the same property in Bushey, Hannah and Louise were found by emergency responders with fatal crossbow injuries.
