The lives of the three women brutally murdered this week will be remembered by their local Jewish community this Shabbat.

Carol Hunt, 61, and her daughters, beautician Hannah, 28, and dog-groomer Louise Hunt, 25 were killed in a crossbow attack at the family home in Ashlyn Close, Bushey, Hertfordshire on Tuesday.

This Shabbat, the rabbi of Bushey Synagogue said that he would be leading the congregation in a memorial prayer.

In an article in the Jewish News, senior Rabbi Elchonon Feldman said: “It’s important for people to know we care. The Shabbat service will include a commemorative section, incorporating a memorial prayer and moments of reflection.”
