The husband of a woman killed along with her two daughters in the UK last year, has told their killer that the "screams of hell" are waiting for him.
Kyle Clifford, 26, refused to appear in court to face his victims' family, as he was given a whole-life sentence for killing ex-partner Louise Hunt, her sister Hannah Hunt and their mother Carol Hunt.
Judge Joel Bennathan handed down the sentence in Clifford's absence after he refused to attend the hearing at Cambridge Crown Court in east England.
"The evidence I have heard shows you to be a jealous man soaked in self-pity - a man who holds women in utter contempt," Mr Justice Bennathan said.
BBC racing commentator John Hunt, the husband of Carol and father of Louise and Hannah, described their killer as a "psychopath" during an emotional address to the court.
Mr Hunt said: "When I was first invited to provide a victim impact statement, I initially misunderstood its purpose, do I really need to detail the impact of having three quarters of my family murdered?
"But then I realised that this was my final opportunity to say what I wanted to say, specifically to you, Kyle, words that will also be directed to your family, who will carry guilt forwards with them for the rest of their lives.
"They knew about the weapons, they knew."
Mr Hunt continued: "I also want to confirm to the world the truth, especially how Louise conducted herself within a textbook-mature break-up on her part, understanding the conflict of saying goodbye to someone she once loved, but not allowing those memories to cloud her certain knowledge that you, Kyle, simply failed to be the person she needed. You failed.
"I am so proud of all my girls.
"Unlike you Kyle, at every step of their lives they made the correct choices to improve themselves as people.
"Louise, she enjoyed more success and fulfilment in one morning than you achieved in your entire miserable life."
Fighting back tears, Mr Hunt said Louise had left Clifford after saying "enough is enough".
"I hope women round the world will take Louise's bravery as a shining beacon for their lives," he said.
"If you feel enough is enough, then it is."
Mr Hunt added: "Whatever sentence you're about to receive, whatever misery lies ahead for you in the next 60 years, remain that after your days on earth are done, on your dying day there will be no release for you Kyle.
"The screams of hell, Kyle. I can hear them faintly now.
"They're going to roll the red carpet out for you."

'Monstrous'
Amy Hunt called Clifford a "monster" and said that what he did "to my baby sister is nothing short of demonic".
She broke down and wept part way through her victim impact statement, as she said Clifford’s "monstrous, selfish actions" had devastated the loved ones of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt.
"You planned to take the lives of three women who have never done anything to hurt you and for what - you got dumped," she said.
The court was told Clifford had again refused to leave his cell at HMP Belmarsh, and Mr Justice Bennathan said: "The defendant was asked to attend here or on the video link and refused, and I then had an inquiry from Belmarsh as to whether I would order restraints so he should be brought to the video room.
"I have declined on the basis that the idea of a man in a wheelchair being put in restraints and potentially disrupting these proceedings is simply not appropriate or suitable.
"If the defendant lacks the courage to face today, so be it, but I’m conscious part of this morning will be people paying tribute to the three women who died, and I'm not having that disrupted by anything."
The defendant had attended previous hearings via video link but refused to attend his rape trial.
Prosecutors previously said Clifford became "enraged" when Louise, 25, ended their 18-month relationship, leading him to "carefully" plan the 9 July murders.
Clifford gained access to the family home by deceiving Carol Hunt, 61, before stabbing her to death in a "brutal knife attack".
After killing her, the defendant then "lay in wait" for an hour for Louise to enter the house, before restraining, raping and ultimately murdering her with a crossbow.
He then fatally shot 28-year-old Hannah when she returned to the family home in the quiet cul-de-sac of Ashlyn Close in Bushey, Hertfordshire, after work.
No coincidence killer 'turned to Andrew Tate' night before murders, court told
Clifford, of Enfield, north London, will be sentenced for three counts of murder, one of rape, one of false imprisonment and two counts of possession of an offensive weapon.
The court heard that Clifford's decision to "turn to Andrew Tate" the night before the murders was "no coincidence".
A court previously heard the murders were fuelled by the "violent misogyny promoted" by Andrew Tate, after it emerged that Clifford searched for the controversial social media influencer's podcast less than 24 hours before the attacks.
Prosecutor Alison Morgan KC told the court: "Andrew Tate can properly be described as a poster boy for misogynists, a poster boy for those who view women as possession to be controlled.
"In that context, and in light of all the other background material, it is no coincidence, the prosecution submit, that it was Andrew Tate that the defendant turned to the night before he would go off to commit these acts of violence against women."
Clifford previously pleaded guilty to murdering Louise Hunt, Carol Hunt and Hannah Hunt, and was later convicted of raping Louise in a "violent, sexual act of spite".
