25, while holding her captive for hours at her home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, last July.<\/p>\n<p>He had already stabbed her mum Carol, 61, to death with a butcher\u2019s knife by the time he bound and gagged her when as she stepped inside from the garden pod where she ran a dog grooming business.<\/p>\n<p>Louise was eventually shot dead with the crossbow, which Clifford also used to murder her sister Hannah, 28, when she arrived home from work, Cambridge Crown Court has heard.<\/p>\n<p>Today, jurors were taken through various pieces of footage capturing Clifford\u2019s movements in the lead-up to the triple killing.<\/p>\n<p>One clip, taken from a camera at the front of the home in Ashlyn Close shows him dressed all in black, wearing a rucksack and holding a white plastic bag chatting to Mrs Hunt.<\/p>\n<p>Carol, who was married to BBC racing commentator John Hunt, answers the door and Clifford says he is \u2018just dropping off some of Louise\u2019s stuff\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>She asks Clifford how he is, and he replies: \u2018I\u2019m good, thank you.
