A manhunt is underway for a 26-year-old man named Kyle Clifford in connection with the deaths of three women in Bushey, northwest of London. The victims, aged 25, 28, and 61 years old, were found seriously injured at a property on July 9, 2024 and later died from their injuries. A crossbow is believed to have been used in the triple murder and other weapons may also have been involved. The police are urging anyone with information about Clifford's whereabouts to contact them immediately, as he may still be armed.

    The article contains some inflammatory rhetoric and an appeal to authority, but no formal or dichotomous fallacies are present. The author uses phrases like 'actively seeking', 'serious nature of the incident', and 'extensive police resources' to create a sense of urgency and importance. Additionally, the author quotes Chief Supt Simpson stating that it is a 'targeted incident' and that they believe a crossbow was used, implying that these statements are facts when they are actually opinions or assumptions by the police. However, these do not significantly impact the overall quality of the article.
