Locals describe moment police arrived
One local resident, who lives on a nearby street, told of the moment dozens of police descended onto the quiet street.
He said: ‘From 7pm there was like 20 police cars coming down, four ambulances and then armed police came and they were here till midnight.
‘I know of them (the victims). So a few of them went to school with people that I know. That’s all I know. I didn’t know them personally.
‘I know they went to schools in the area in the area. They didn’t go to my school.’
Another local, Francis Turner, was watching Germany play France in the Euros sime finals when she heard shouting outside.
She told The Sun: ‘My husband and I were watching the football when we heard sirens and shouting. There were around 30 policemen outside.
“There were armed police. They came and knocked on our door and told us to stay inside and keep our doors shut.’
Local Councillor reacts to ‘terrible’ incident
Local councillor Laurence Brass, who lives nearby, said the area is ‘a typical leafy British suburb’. He told the BBC:
At about eight o’clock last night, I was watching the football on television, and suddenly a helicopter landed in the lawn outside my flat, which is at the top of this road, and then my phone started going, and I was told that there was a major incident here in Bushey and we should all keep away because there was somebody apparently on the run.
This is not something that happens in Bushey.
We can’t remember a murder in our rather quiet neck of the woods, so (it’s a) terrible shock and our sympathies and prayers and thoughts are with the families of the three women.
That really is a terrible thing to happen to anybody, and I’ve gathered they’re all from the same family, which obviously makes it even more tragic, and we’ll do everything we can as the local council to add our source of comfort where we can.
