Words used by a police spokesman to describe the violent deaths of three women.

The police stated that the suspect may be armed with a crossbow.

Could he have been a bit more careful in his choice of words?

How would you have phrased it, Sandy?  It conveys the victims eere not random people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time

We feel at this time there is no threat to anyone else.  That would be reassuring to locals

It's reported they're the wife and daughters of a BBC horse racing commentator.

It seems it was an ex-boyfriend - or so the Daily Mail says.   

Imagine losing your whole family in such a horrible way.
