Kyle Clifford, 26, was given a whole-life order today for the murder of Carol Hunt, Hannah Hunt and his ex-partner Louise Hunt.
He also raped Louise, a charge he had denied at trial.
The former soldier - who, the court heard, had a wholly underwhelming military career - refused to attend today.
That meant his victims' family - BBC racing commentator John Hunt and his daughter Amy - addressed him in their statements in his absence.
In powerful remarks, both told Clifford he will have to live with his crimes for an eternity, while they will continue to lead the lives their family would have wished for them.
The judge, Mr Justice Joel Bennathan, agreed, condemning Clifford to prison for the rest of his life.
"You'll never be released," he said.
Scroll down for all of today's developments, or catch up with this brief recap:
- The court heard Clifford's brother, who is spending life in prison, told him "you can't just order a crossbow bruv" when he told him of his plan to buy the weapon;
- Carol Hunt, the mother of Hannah and Louise, tried to defend herself when Clifford attacked him with a knife;
- John Hunt, her husband, said he would have been Clifford's fourth victim were it not for his daughter Hannah raising the alarm;
- He also told Clifford a "red carpet" awaits him in hell;
- Amy Hunt, the surviving sister, said her family is "human" - but Clifford "plainly" is not;
- Downing Street branded Clifford a "coward" for not appearing at court to face his victims;
- And in his absence, the judge said the Hunt family showed a "gentle heroism" Clifford can only dream of, as he put him behind bars for the rest of his days.
